Hi there! It's not quite correct, no. The word "Let" should be all lowercase: let. Also, the challenge explicitly asks you to use an interpolated string, but you're using a concatenated string.

Concatenation uses the + operator to put two strings together. Interpolation uses a backslash and parentheses to insert the value of a variable at that point in the string.

let myStringExample = "Example"

//Concationation example

print(myStringExample + " of concatenation")

// Interpolation example

print("\(myStringExample) of interpolation")

Hope this helps! :sparkles
