Remember to obey naming rules, a general variable should be written in camel case, soItShouldLookLikeThis, with the first word in all lower case and the rest of the words with the first letter capitalized. And the string declaration is a class, so it should be capitalized, as String, not string. Try that and see how it works, and don't forget the semicolon to end the line phrase. Good luck!
