Full Stack JavaScript Techdegree Student 4,000 Pointsinterpolated string
Hi everyone, I am trying to solve a quiz from Swift Basics and am puzzled as to my code is not being accepted.
The question is to declare two strings. name greeting
and set a value of greeting to an interpolated string that combines the string value from both name and greeting. When I write the code in quiz area, it does not work, when I write the same code in xcode playground, it works perfectly. I don`t understand what is wrong in my code...hope to get some hint about this...thanks. Cheers.
// Enter your code below
let name = "Dildar"
let greeting = "Hi there"
// String Interpolation
let interpolatedGreeting = "\(greeting), \(name)"

// Enter your code below
let name = "Dillar"
let greeting = "Hi there, \(name)"
Concatenation is used in the second part of the challenge.

12,781 PointsI can give you some hints.
The challenge asks for concatenation and not interpolation.
By the way i would name the last constant finalGreeting, to be on the save side.
It should now be easy for you to solve.

Full Stack JavaScript Techdegree Student 4,000 PointsI have just tried it again with concatenation and it still doesnt work.
I have tried several options and cant find the solution...
By the way, it is mentioned in the challenge to set the value of greeting to an interpolated string that combines the value of greeting and name...so I am not sure how it should be written...any other hints?? Thanks

Full Stack JavaScript Techdegree Student 4,000 PointsHi again Nico, Next question is:
Declare a constant named finalGreeting, and concatenate the value of greeting with the string literal " How are you?".
I am trying it write it like this: let finalGreeting = "(greeting). How are you?"
and abviously it is not working :) Just curious what am I doing wrong? I tried other options as well...
Nico Schmidt
12,781 PointsYour task is to concatenate.
// Enter your code below
let name = "Dildar"
let greeting = "Hi there, \(name)"
// String Interpolation
let finalGreeting = greeting + ". How are you?"
