Hi there,

Your second string is incorrect. The challenge is looking for Second, declare a constant named greeting. Set the value of greeting to an interpolated string that combines "Hi there, " with the string stored in the name constant ... the final value of greeting could be "Hi there, Linda".

So, use interpolation to build your second string. The challenge wants the value held by greeting to be "Hi there, Sapho", so it should be:

let name = "Sapho"
let greeting = "Hi there, \(name)."

I hope that helps,

Steve.
