I can't pass the challenge after this video. how can I see the solution in order to understand my error?

That is what I have done. let FavDesserts = "FavDesserts" str = "Chocolate Cake"

Here's the solution:

let favDessert = "Chocolate Cake"

Note the challenge asks for the constant to be singular, e.g. "favDessert" not "favDesserts". The challenge also probably wants camel case, so lowercase for the start of the constant name (this is standard Swift practice anyway, so might as well get in the habit).

I think you should rewatch the video and see how he assigns a value to a variable. What you've done there is that you created two constants, FavDesserts and str, and you gave them respectively the value "FavDesserts" and "Chocolate Cake".

But you only need to create one called FavDesserts and assign it the name of your favorite dessert, which is probably Chocolate Cake
