13,634 PointsYou are very close and have the right idea. Sometimes I have to reread the instructions to make sure I'm doing EXACTLY what they want me to do.
Directions and (Your code): In this task we're going to declare two strings. (Your code has 3 declared strings)
First, declare a constant named name and assign to it a String containing your name. (Correct)
Second, declare a constant named greeting. (Correct)
Set the value of greeting to an interpolated string that combines "Hi there, " with the string stored in the name constant. (Your code only has "Hi there,")
I'm trying to point you in the right direction without giving the actual code. I believe it helps us think it out better. Too many people just give us the code in our answers and that really doesn't help us figure it out so we remember it.
Hint: There should only be 2 constants, the second constant should be your interpolated string.
let me know if that helps.

3,262 Pointsit does! I thought It needed more lines... I thought to create interpolated code, I had to use interpolated as a heading for example.
interpolatedGreeting - where interpolated is more so a way to insert code -> "Hi there, (Jericoe)".
Thank you. Jay.
