2,781 PointsThe challenge asks for an interpolated string, I was able to write this in XCode without errors, here I get errors.
let name = "Justin" let interpolatedGreeting = "("Hi there"), (name)"
// Enter your code below
let name = "Justin"
let interpolatedGreeting = "\("Hi there"), \(name)"

2,781 PointsThank you Yusuf! I am tryin... I managed to get it looking and acting right in XCode, and have watched the section of video again to make sure I was doing it right, yet I still can't seem to get it to work. I keep trying different things, but I always get a huge amount of errors that aren't too specific. :( I will put below what I have so far... hopefully its something simple that I am missing...
let name = "Justin"
let greeting = "("Hi") (" there"), (name + ".")"

let multiplier = 3
let message = "\(multiplier) times 2.5 is \(Double(multiplier) * 2.5)"
// message is "3 times 2.5 is 7.5"
When creating a string via interpolation, it is basically the same as defining a regular string. The cool thing is that you can easily include dynamic parts, just wrap them in \(). You can easily combine static and dynamic parts via string interpolation . Let me give you another example
let greeting = "Hello"
let name = "Justin"
let message = "\(greeting) \(name)! Nice to meet you!"
// message is "Hello Justin! Nice to meet you!"
Hope that helps :)

The challenge asks for two constants to be created. You've created the first one perfectly! Try changing the name of the second constant to the one given in the challenge. Also don't forget about the period/full stop at the end.
I hope this helps :)
