let name = "David"

let greeting = "Hi there, " + name

greeting

// Here is some more code I tried

let name = "David"

let interpolatedGreeting = "Hi there, (name)"

interpolatedGreeting

You have to assign only String literal to the greeting constant with the reverse slash symbol . Like this:

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