366 PointsI am trying to combine a string literal, "Hi there," and a constant. Is that not possible? Attempted so many times!
I've made "Hi there," a separate constant and that doesn't work. I've tried the attached code and that doesn't work. The video doesn't address this particular situation. It only shows creating Interpolated Strings out of constants only. This is bubkiss.
// Enter your code below
let name = "Christopher"
let greeting = "Hi there, ", "\(name)"

You're on the right track. For some reason, you just seem to have a couple of extra quotation marks and an errant comma in the code. Interpolation is done right inside of the string, and there is already a comma there, so I'm not sure why you are trying to add another one?
Just clean up the line to
let greeting = "Hi there, \(name)"
and it's all good!
Keep Coding! :)
