Code works in Xcode but not on the website

Hi, I am currently in the beginning of my Swift coding course and I have a slight problem.

The code I have entered below displays the correct answer when it is in XCode (it displays "Hi there, James.") but when I enter it on the website it says it is incorrect.

Any help will be much appreciated.

strings.swift 
let name = "James";
let greeting = "\("Hi there,") \(name)."

Hey James,

you just have to interpolate variables or constants inside of a String but you're trying to interpolate the String itself by writing it inside of \() . You can just write the String and inside of it you can interpolate the constant name.

Like so:

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

I hope that helps, if you have further questions feel free to ask! :)
