When declaring a variable, you do want to use the var keyword, but you want it to be all lower-case ('Var' would theoretically mean something different in Swift... this concept of uppercase and lowercase letters having different meanings means that Swift is a 'case sensitive' language.) Your variable name goes next in your declaration statement. After the equals sign, you'll type the value that you want to be stored into the variable. In this example it's a text value (a 'String' value), and you need to put that type of value in double quotes.
var greeting = "Hello"
Hope this helps!

35 PointsWhat does this mean? Your greeting variable has the wrong value in it. I am new at programing. Thanks
