Code works in Xcode on my computer but not in Treehouse

Hello, I wrote this code in Xcode on my computer and it works but when I do it in Treehouse it doesn't work. Am I missing something? can anyone see my mistake? Thanks

strings.swift 
// Enter your code below
let name = "Morris"
let greeting = "Hi there"
let interpolatedGreeting = "\(greeting), \(name)"

Your syntax is right, what you did wrong is you didn't solve the task the way they want you to. It says: "Second, declare a constant named greeting. Set the value of greeting to an interpolated string that combines "Hi there, " with the string stored in the name constant."

So basically, your constant "greeting" should hold what your constant interpolatedGreeting is holding now:

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

Thanks so much Valerie, as you can tell from my lack of understanding of the question, I'm extremely new to this, and I sincerely appreciate your help. :)
