Hi Peter,

First, make your constant names have an initial lowercase. That's the convention, so name rather than Name. Classes are given initial capitals.

Next, to interpolate a string into another, you use a backslash and brackets; \(name). This inserts the value held in the name constant into a string. So, your greeting constant contains a string "Hi there, ". At the relevant point inside that, insert \(name) and your code will pass the challenge.

I hope that helps.

Steve.
