Can you help me?

The problem is I wrote this code: let constant = "favouriteDessert" and Bummer appears and it says: Your code could not be compiled. Please click on "Preview" to view the compiler errors, but in section "Preview" there is nothing written. Thank you in advance :)

The keyword for declaring a constant type value in Swift is "let". favoriteDessert is the name you assign to the constant, not the value it is set to. 

let favoriteDessert = "Cake"
