Hi Matthew,

you where asked to declare a constant named greeting and set the value of greeting to an interpolated string that combines "Hi there, " with the string stored in the name constant like:

// Enter your code below
let name = "Matthew"
let greeting = "Hi there, \(name)."

...and Welcome to Treehouse, Matthew Alessandri !

Hi,

  1. Add spaces between your constant names and the equal sign
  2. You are not required to declare a third constant, it is asking you to assign the interpolated string to greeting constant.
let greeting = "Hi there \(name)."

Hope it helps
