let name = "Sandeep"
let greeting = "Hi there, \(name)"
let finalGreeting = "\(greeting), How are you?"
I hope this helps you :)
Good luck! ~Alex

9,730 PointsHi Alex, Since you have quite kind to explain, i have bit of an esoteric question. I am learning both python and Swift. But I am undecided to choose. Both look very similar syntaxically but I love the playground (instant feedback). what is your opinion on the future of programming and which one will do best for a beginner. I am conscious that Swift has been made open source recently so it can now extend beyond ISO platform. I am also aware that being a new language its evolving and some of the chatter on internet elude to Swift developer struggling with constant changes in Swift version s and this its functionalities.

65,469 PointsIt's up to you. If you enjoy coding in Swift you may continue. However, with Swift you can only make iOS apps. With Python, you can create applications, games (not on phones unfortunately), websites, even physical robots! If you want, you can also learn both. I think both Python and Swift are great, so it's hard choice. I hope you are able to decide now!

9,730 Pointsthank you. I am quite keen to learn Machine learning and Robotics. I have heard very many good things about python and it libraries. I think I will stay with python and learn Swift for hobby (until it stabilizes). I am already learning JavaScript as my first preference for Webdevelopment and gaming apps :)
thanks Alex, you have been great support
