Im stuck on the first challenge of stage 2

I want to print learning swift but I can't separate the two words learning and swift

println.swift 
let language = "Swift"
println("Learning // (language)")

let language = "swift"
println("learning \(language)")

here is the correct code - think you mixed up the comment with a variable

println("learning \(language)")

the "()" tells the code that you are placing a variable within the parentheses. the "//" comments out that particular line

any questions feel free to ask :)

It wont let me put a backslash so i had to substitute it for a forward slash.

String Interpulation is hard but this should fix the code

``` let language = "swift"

// notice only one backslash and there is no space between it and the parentheses

// the forward slash below is a backslash

println("Learning /(language)") ```

Hope it helps!

in your code you put a forward slash, not a back slash. the correct way of writing this code is

let language = "swift"
println("learning \(language)")
