Treehouse Guest TeacherBrandon J's answer is incorrect. You need to use a backslash for string interpolation and not a forward slash. Also, the variable needs to be within the string.
I didn't give an answer because I was hoping Caden Smith would watch the video again as the answer would have been very easy to find on his own. However, since it's now been confused with a wrong answer, the correct syntax is below.
let language = "Swift"
println("Learning \(language)")
So, instead of just writing println("Learning Swift")
, you are using the string stored in the constant language
. Another example:
let firstWord = "Learning"
let language = "Swift"
println("\(firstWord) \(language)")
The result would be the same "Learning Swift"

Treehouse Guest TeacherMight I suggest just watching the video over again? That's all it should take for you to find the answer.

Treehouse Guest TeacherGo back and watch the Printing Results video. Around 4:45 into the video, is exactly where it talks about using println()
and string interpolation which is what you need to know for the code challenge at the end of the video.
