The problem is you are using string interpolation syntax for everything in your greeting constant when you only need to use it when you want to place the value of constants or variables inside the string. So in this case, the only thing you need to wrap in string interpolation is the name constant. It should look like this:

let name = "Chevano"
let greeting = "Hi there, \(name)."
