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".

strings.swift 
let name = "Munir"
let ee = "Hi there"
let greeting = "\(ee), \(name)"

Hi Munir,

First, create a constant called name that stores your name. You've done that correctly.

Next, use that constant's value in the greeting constant's string by interpolating its value with Hi there. Use \(name) to do that.

That looks like:

let name = "Munir"
let greeting = "Hi there, \(name)"

Make sense?

Steve.
