How is this not working? let name = "Cullen" let greeting = "\("Hi there"), \(name)"

I don't understand how this does not work.

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

Hey there Cullen,

You're so close! We just need to make a small tweak in your code. You don't need to use String Interpolation on the "Hi there," section of the string because it is a string literal. You only use string interpolation when you want to place the value associated with a particular variable or constant inside of a string.

// Enter your code below
let name = "Cullen"
// It should look like this
let greeting = "Hi there, \(name)"

Good Luck!
