Printing Results - Objective 1

Given the constant named language, write a println statement which will print the following string: "Learning Swift". (Remember to use the language constant within the string you pass to your println statement).

let language = "Swift"

//my code

println("Learning " + language)

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

Paul is correct remember that they are asking you to "use the language constant within the string". In Swift you can pass the constant(or variable) within a string by enclosing it in brackets with a back slash at the front like so: (stringName)

So your code will look like this:

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

From a programers standpoint this is awesome because it lets you see a fully structured sentence compared to more traditional methods.
