I can't get interpolation string right...

I adjusted my code to many different ways but can't get it to work.

strings.swift 
// Enter your code below

let name = "Shandas"

let greeting = "/("Hi there"), /(name)."

A couple things:

1) you need to use a backslash ("\") not a forward slash ("/")

2) "Hi there" isn't a variable, it's just some normal text in your string. So you shouldn't put any string interpolation stuff around it. The whole thing should look like this:

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