903 PointsString Manipulation that doesn't get approved by treehouse quiz system
Hello,
I am trying to complete the quiz/check-up for the lesson, I feel like I am doing everything right since on my xCode it works. But when I check my work through Treehouse it says the string greeting is not interpolated.
let name = "Bruce" let greeting = "Welcome home"
let interpolatedGreeting = "(greeting), (name)."
what am I doing wrong that it doesn't validad my answer?
let name = "Linda"
let greeting = "Hi there"
let interpolatedString = "\(greeting), \(name)."

Treehouse TeacherIt wants the "Linda" part added to the end of the greeting using string interpolation. It seems like you understand interpolation, just not what they're asking for.
// Enter your code below
let name = "Linda"
let greeting = "Hi there, \(name)."
Generally speaking, challenges are very strict. Try to avoid making any variables or functions that they don't explicitly ask for. Even though your code may be functional, it can still cause the challenge to fail.

903 PointsI had to read the question like five times to finally understand what they wanted specifically. Thanks hastily reply Jennifer!

Treehouse TeacherThomas Hoffmann I promise that you'll reread instructions plenty of times throughout your time here on Treehouse. I can just about guarantee you that we've all fallen victim to not understanding exactly what they're asking for. Sometimes I sit there and think: "Ok. I know what I think they wanted, but what did they actually say." Only very rarely are they the same thing :)
