Hi there - my code isn't working. I don't know if I'm doing the Interpolated String thing right.

I followed the model you had set before, and my code was: let name = "Gean" let greeting = "(Hi there, ) (name)"

What's wrong with it? Thanks, Gean

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

Hi Gean, To set the value of greeting to an interpolated string you need: 1st- create a constant named "greeting":

let greeting =

2nd- assign a string with text "Hi there, ":

let greeting = "Hi there, "

3rd step is to add a constant "name" with your name stored in it:

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

And you're done. Your code was almost correct! GL next !)
