I am completing the tasks for the strings lesson in SwiftBasics and having issues.

I guess I just don't understand what I am doing incorrectly? I have went back and watched the video again, but I still get it wrong. If someone could explain the steps, that would be great.

Thanks!

strings.swift 
// Enter your code below
let name = "Jess"

let greeting = "Hi there,"

let interpolatedGreeting = "\(greeting), \(name)"

yes you are close! Like me your trying to make it more difficult than it needs to be. Before reading the answer below try using string interpolation with the constant name inside the greeting constant

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