Hi James,

You're so close! You've just added an extra step. The constant greeting itself needs to be equal to "Hi there, James Warburton". No need to add an additional constant. The good news is you just need the delete key to fix this :)

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

Cheers :beers:

The first part of the challenge us asking you to create a constant named name with a string containing you name. You have this correct: let name = "James Warburton"

Once you have the name constant you are being asked to create another constant named greeting that is set to an interpolated string that "Hi there, " with the name constant you just created.

So you just need to something like this: let greeting = "Hi there, " (the constant you created that contains your name)"

For part two of the challenge you should concatenate the constant "greeting" with the string " How are you?"

Good luck! I hope this helps
