iOS Swift Basics Swift Types String Manipulation

I do not understand this part. Set the value of greeting to an interpolated string that combines "Hi there, ".

This is the code I put together.

let name = "Chris" let greeting = "Hi there," let interpolatedGreetings = "(greeting) (name)"

how do you set a value of greeting to an interpolated string?

strings.swift
let name = "Chris"
let greeting = "Hi there,"
let interpolatedGreetings = "\(greeting) \(name)"

They want you to assign an interpolated string to the greeting variable directly, instead of creating a separate variable like you are doing. Like this:

let name = "Chris"
let greeting = "Hi there, \(name)"

Thanks!
