need sinatra help

get "/greet/:name" end

How do you write "Hello" with the contents of the name Url parameters.

I thought it would be "Hello" params[:name]

hello.rb 
require "sinatra"

get "/greet/:name" do
  # YOUR CODE HERE

end

Hi there, Stuart Fleishman ! It looks like you're doing terrific and have understood params, but remember, this is a string concatenation. It looks like you're missing the + sign to concatenate "Hello" with params[:name].

Hope this helps! :sparkles:
