I don't understand what I'm doing wrong.

I don't understand what I'm doing wrong. My text works fine in the xcode playground, but when I copy it into the editor on the webpage it keeps giving me errors, is it just me messing up some where?

strings.swift 
// Enter your code below
let name = "Zachary"
let greeting = "\("Hi there,") \(name)\(".")"
let finalGreeting = "\(greeting) \("How are you?")"

Hi there :) I'm really wondering how your code could run in a playground. When using string interpolation you should go piece by piece. If you want to interpolate a variable you use \(), but if not you can simply write the String in quotes.

let name = "Zachary"
let greeting = "Hi there, \(name)."
let finalGreeting = "\(greeting) How are you?"
