Let's greet the user, as we did before, but this time using an ERB template. Set up views/hello.erb to output "Hello"

See code for this question- really stuck here

hello.rb 
require "sinatra"

get "/greet/:name" do
  @name = params[:name]
end
views/hello.erb 
<h1><%=@name%></h1>

Good going, you're pretty close. But read the challenge a little more closely and you will see the hello.erb should also have "Hello" it it -- it doesn't need any special HTML tags.

Hello <%= @name %>
