Hi Mark. Welcome to Treehouse.

Variables store data that programs use. It is one of the more vital aspects of coding. Here, the data you are to store is the String "Swift".

You should go back and review the video on how to declare variables, but if you are brand new to coding, I recommend not starting with a more complex language as Swift. I think you will benefit greatly from going through the Digital Literacy Track first, and then maybe jumping back into Swift.

Keep Coding! :) :dizzy:
