Hey there! not sure where I am going wrong, I tried to return the string with the key value, however no luck.

In the get route for the "/greet/:name" path, respond with a string reading "Hello" followed by the contents of the name URL parameter.

hello.rb 
require "sinatra"

get "/greet/:name" do
    params[:name]
  "Hello, #{:name}

end


#"Hello," 
 # page_content(params[:name])

Hi Carlos,

All of the code you need is already there. There appears to be a lot of extra code that is not needed for the challenge though.

The challenge asks for a string and the name URL parameter. Simply close your string and don't forget to concantenate two items. Like so:

require "sinatra"

get "/greet/:name" do
  "Hello," + params[:name]

end

Cheers!
