Is it the closing period stop? where does it go? I tried every place at the end, refused them all.
let name = " Scott Becker" let greeting = "Hi there," let interpolatedGreeting = "(greeting),(name)"
let name = " Scott Becker"
let greeting = "Hi there,"
let interpolatedGreeting = "\(greeting),\(name)"

I think this is duplicated but I'll have a go anyway!
First the question is First, declare a constant named name and assign to it a String containing your name.
That, for me, looks like:
let name = "Steve"
Then the qustion says, Second, declare a constant named greeting. Set the value of greeting to an interpolated string that combines "Hi there, " with the string stored in the name constant.
That looks like:
let greeting = "Hi there, \(name)"
Lastly, the question is, Declare a constant named finalGreeting, and concatenate the value of greeting with the string literal " How are you?".
That completes the challenge with:
let finalGreeting = greeting + "How are you?"
We need to ignore the stated requirement of a leading space for now - that's a little error!
Hope that helps.
Steve.

20,349 PointsThanks.. I'm a pixel monkey with aspirations to code, so this is, at times, Greek to me. Thanks!

20,349 PointsSo Pasan's use of "interpolatedGreeting" as a constant name was demonstrative, not literal? Sometimes I over-think. (Yours was a beautiful, transparent explanation, by the way)

57,712 PointsAh, yes. The variable name is freehand.
Keep going and shout if you need help. You can @ mention me if you don't get anywhere. I'm usually around!
