I don't understand

why is the carrot under the "T" and how would I resolve this issue?

numbers.swift
let title; "A Dance with Dragons"

HI.

You typed a " ; " in your constant declaration.

Be careful here ->

let title : String = "A Dance with Dragons"

This is the right answer. To clarify: "let" keyword tells the system that you are declaring a constant (constant cannot be changed when they are initialized with a value), then ": String " tells the system that the constant will be of type String, and finally =" A Dance with Dragons" sets the constant with this string value.

Hope this clears some things.

Regards,

N.V.

Welcome. And don't worry you'll get more and more questions as you progress, but the solution is easy: either the Documentation or Treehouse forum, you'll get your answer.

Enjoy your Sunday.
