Your almost there, just need to make a few small changes.

String interpolation is a way to construct a new String value from a mix of constants, variables, literals, and expressions by including their values inside a string literal. Each item that you insert into the string literal is wrapped in a pair of parentheses, prefixed by a backslash

So, your going to use string interpolation on the 2nd let. 

let name = "Abdi" 
let greeting = "Hi there \(name)."

Thanks Dave Ko. I was confused about the 2 full stops but one was for the normal sentence used by the author and now I know that I don't need interpolation to write a string that I can just put in the " ". Thanks Dave
