I might be getting this backwords

let name = "Louis." let greeting = "Hi there"

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

maybe I'm following the directions wrong?

strings.swift 
// Enter your code below
let name = "Louis."
let greeting = "Hi there"

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

Hey Louis,

for the first task you have to interpolate the name inside of the string in the constant greeting but you're creating an additional constant interpolatedGreeting for it. When you interpolate the name constant inside of the greeting constant it should look like this:

// Enter your code below
let name = "Louis"
let greeting = "Hi there, \(name)."

I hope that helps! :)
