422 PointsI 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.
// Enter your code below
let name = "Asad"
let greeting = "Hi there, \ (name)"
let interpolatedGreeting = "\ (greeting) \ (name)"

8,386 PointsYou 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)"
