I can't figure out how to create the constant and assign it to a string. Please point me in the right direction

I'm new to coding and I watched the video already.

constants.swift 
// Enter your code below

var str  = "favDessert"
let str = "favDdessert"

The name of the constant is supposed to be favDessert, and you were to assign it a String containing your favorite dessert. Since you didn't give one, I opted for "ice cream":

let favDessert  = "ice cream"
