When you use string interpolation you only need to put the name of the string you want to insert within the \(). The regular text should be written like normal. So the code should look like this:

let name = "warren"
let greeting = "Hi there, \(name)"

let name: String = "Jeff"
let greeting = "Hi there, \(name)"
let finalGreeting = "\(greeting)" + "How are you?"

Aye Jeff you seem to be further along than me and we started at similar times. How are you doing this! Also how are you feeling about your own progress? Feel like you can develop ios well enough to get a job?

Hi Martel - I attempt to spend at least an hour a day programming. I feel pretty good with my progress. I feel that I can develop good enough to get an entry level job, but I am just doing this as a hobby; so I have not really looked!

Wanna be friends so we can track progress and shit together? Sometimes I get in ruts and just like to talk about code with someone but it's hard to find people that code even more specifically in swift.
