help i dont get printing results challenge

The question asks: Given the constant named language, write a println statement which will print the following string: "Learning Swift". (Remember to use the language constant within the string you pass to your println statement).

so i got let language = "Swift" but do I have to do the parentheses thing with the backword slash?

in order to print you need to tell the computer to print. '''println()''' this tells the computer to "print" whats inside "()" For example ....'''println("Swift is Awesome")'''

Hi Shannon,

You do need to use interpolation for this challenge, if you remember back to the earlier Swift videos Amit talking about interpolation about. See the below example.

let myConstant = "Something"
println("The variable 'myConstant' is a constant and contains the value \(myConstant)")

String interpolation like the one Chris Upjohn mentioned is good too use because it makes the text (the code) easy to read. Its even better if you choose good names for your constants. Keep struggeling! :D
