Hi there! You're fairly close here so I'm going to give some hints.

  • The constant name should be assigned a string containing your name
  • The code for the first step should only be 2 lines
  • The constant greeting should be correctly capitalized with "Hi there, "
  • The name variable should be interpolated inside the greeting constant
  • The interpolatedGreeting constant is unnecessary and not requested by the challenge

Good luck and let us know if you're still stuck! :sparkles:
