No idea how to solve this

The teaching before this has no information how to answer this question... With no hints either. No idea if I'm on the right track.

hello.rb 
require "sinatra"

get "/greet/:name" do
  "<p>Hello<p>"
  page_content(params[/:name])
end

I haven't used Ruby in a while, but it looks like you want to use string interpolation and get the from just params....

 "#{string_to_Interplote}" # string interpolation

 params[:param] # access param, where :param is the param to access
