Hi,

I noticed that your "let" statements are capitalized.

Try lowercase "let". These keywords are case sensitive.

Kevin,

As Misha stated, let should be lowercase.

For this challenge, the first step is to create a constant called "name" and assign it your name. You have the word interpolation in there and you also need quotes around Kevin. Like this.

let name = "Kevin"

The second part of the challenge says to declare a constant named greeting and assign to it "Hi there, " ("Hi" with an uppercase H, "there" lowercase, comma, space), then use interpolation to add the name constant defined earlier.

let greeting = "Hi there, \(name)"

Let me know how that works for you.
