I cannot for the life of me understand why my interpolated string isn't working? I need help, can anyone assist?

This is my code for interpolated strings quiz 1 of 2 in Swift Basics

let name = "Doug" let greeting = "Hi there,"

let response = "(greeting) (name)"

strings.swift 
let name = "Doug"
let greeting = "Hi there,"

let response = "\(greeting) \(name)"

there is no instruction to create a variable called response. delete that line and put the interpolated string for your name after the Hi there in the greeting variable like it asks and it will pass.

This is how I am doing it and I can't pass the challenge:

let name = "Emanuele" let greeting = "Hi there, "

let interpolatedGreetingName = "(greeting) (name)"

Obviously let greeting is below let name. Anyone can help me out?
