I can't pass this quiz :( I have tried so many times, and it seems so easy, yet is being awful to complete....

The question states to use string interpolation. I think I am?!? I have no idea, please help..

strings.swift 
// Enter your code below
let name = "Sean"
let greeting = "Hi there, Sean"

// Now interpolated string

let interpolatedGreeting = ("Hi there, Sean".)

Hi Sean!

Interpolated strings means you use any expression that results in a string, on the string itself. In this case, the sole constants you have are already strings that you can use for interpolation with the syntax "\(you_variable_constant_or_expression)". An example of string interpolation would be 

let myName = "Marlon Burnett"
let myAge = 26

let interpolatedString = "Hi! My name is \(myName). I'm \(myAge) years old!"
