I don't understand how to interpolate the greeting. Isn't this correct?

This is very frustrating, I don't understand what I'm doing wrong. I believe I'm doing it according to the lesson.

strings.swift 
// Enter your code below

let name = "Asad"

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

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

You have an unwanted space between the backslash and the open parenthesis. Remove the spaces and the string interpolation will work as expected.

let name = "Asad"

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

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