What's wrong? let name = "Linda" let greeting = "Hi there, " + name

let name = "Linda" let greeting = "Hi there, " + name

strings.swift 
// Enter your code below

let name = "Linda"
let greeting = "Hi there, " + name

Hi there :) just to clarify what brendan said - this is interpolation, keeping all the contents inside quote marks " " and when you need to insert a value, use \(yourValueHere). Example;

// Enter your code below
let name = "Linda"
let greeting = "Hi there, \(name)"
