I feel like I'm following the exact steps to create an interpolated string, however I keep getting an error message that I need to make sure the value I am assigning is an interpolated string. also, the preview check is a black screen with no feedback on what to correct. help is appreciated.
// Enter your code below
let name = "robin"
let greeting = "Hi there,"
//String Interpolation
let interpolatedGreeting = "\(greeting) \(name)"

Treehouse TeacherYou are doing great! However, the challenge never says to make a new constant named interpolated greeting. What it wants is for the string interpolation to happen on the greeting line. Here's what they're looking for.
// Enter your code below
let name = "robin"
let greeting = "Hi there, \(name)"
//String Interpolation
Happy coding!

2,534 Pointsthank you so much!! That worked for me. I was trying to follow the exact example as in the tutorial and thought of shorting it like you suggested, however at the time that didn't make sense to me.
