I am trying to create a constant named language which is a string named "Swift" I am getting error message?

The answer I gave was:

let language: string = "Swift"

??

constants.swift 
let language: string = "Swift"

Your type string is spelled in lowercase, which is not recognised. string is not String.

Tested the code below in Playground, it should do the trick: let language: String = "Swift"
