How do I solve this code challenge?

I keep messing up on the sting literal "greeting" I seem to be doing everything right but it won't compile

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

Hi Mat,

The issue with your code is that you have used string interpolation for Hi and there which isn't needed since they aren't variables, simply switching them to be just text will allow you to pass the challenge.

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

Happy coding!
