let language : String = "Swift"
var str = "Learning"
println( "\(str) + \(language)")

Capitalised the S on 'String', Corrected the initialisation of str, Added interpolation to the string you're printing. Hope this helps!

Hi Aftahar Miah,

You have a couple of problems with your code which are:

  1. you have given the language constant a type which isn't required by the challenge
  2. you've created a new, but invalid variable called str, this isn't needed and can be omitted
  3. you haven't used string interpolation as shown by Amit in the previous video

With that said the code you should have is as below.

let language = "Swift"
println("Learning \(language)")

And just so it makes sense, if you did want to create a variable called str and assign it a type you need to use camel casing for String and encapsulate Learning within quotes.

var str: String = "Learning"

Happy coding!
