In this task we're going to declare two strings. First, declare a constant named name and assign to it a String containing your name.

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.

As an example, the final value of greeting could be "Hi there, Linda"

Hey Brianna,

You are really close! I believe there is just a simple typo, your code should read:

let name = "Brianna" let greeting = "Hi there, " + name

You were simply missing the comma and space inside your sting.

Hi Trevor,

Thank you! I tried that as well and it is still saying it is wrong. I tried a few different methods and can't seem to get it correct.

My apologies!

Your greeting should interpolate the name constant, so it should look like this:

let name = "Brianna" let greeting = "Hi there, (name)"
