I wanted to review the absolute basics and been stuck for the past few hours on either a lint issue or code.

I've been trying to pass the very first challenge of String Interpolation. I have tried re-spacing, adding a period, restarting, reloading. relaunching, testing in Xcode, copy & pasting other's answers. I can't tell what's broke here. Nothing seems to work.

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

There's something wrong with their backend... I had the same issue. I've sent them a message with the bug :)

No, there is not something wrong with their back end. here is the correct code.

  // Enter your code below

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

you put an extra space between the comma and the slash( "," and "\")
