I am having a difficult time with the println function

Given the constant named language, write a println statement which will print the following string: "Learning Swift".

Use the language constant within the string you pass to your println statement. Practice using string interpolation.

let language = "Swift"

My answer: println("Learning / (language)")

But it is showing that it is the wrong answer. Am I supposed to make another variable for "Learning" than use string interpolation?

println.swift 
let language = "Swift"

var scr = "Learning"

println("Learning / (language)")

i would STRONGLY recommend you use the swift 2.0 track. swift 1 is outdated, println no longer exists, its just print now. On top of that, Swift 3.0 is coming out soon, and if you arent up to date with Swift 2 you will be even further behind. There is basically no reason to use swift 1

Hi Donte, you're almost there. You do not need to make another variable for learning, but remember that you must use a BACKslash instead of a slash. You must also place the backslash directly in front of the interpolation.

let example =  "This is an example"

print( "\(example)")

These things are much easier to spot inside a playground, so I'd recommend practicing in one and then copy-pasting your answer into Treehouse. Good luck!
