Treehouse TeacherHi there! You've got a few issues with your code. First, there should be a space between the equals sign and the quotation marks. Also, we use the backslash and parentheses to denote interpolation. This means that the compiler will take the value of a variable and insert it at that point. "Hi there" is not a variable, it's a string literal. Take a look:
// Enter your code below// Enter your code below
let name = "Abubakar"
let greeting = "Hi there, \(name)."
This will result in the constant greeting containing the string "Hi there, Adubakar". This is because it takes the value in the name variable and puts it in the place we've told it inside the backslash and parentheses. As a final note, step one explicitly says that the string in the greeting constant needs to contain a full stop/period. Hope this helps!
