Interpolated String

let interpolatedGeeting = "(greeting) (name)"

This is what I wrote. The code works in xCode in my MacBook Pro but it does not work here.

Thanks.

strings.swift 
// Enter your code below
let name = "Beezhan"

let greeting = "Hi There."

let interpolatedGeeting = "\(greeting) \(name)"

Hey there Beezhan,

I think you may have misunderstood the second part of the challenge: "Second, declare a constant named greeting. Set the value of greeting to an interpolated string that combines "Hi there, " with the string stored in the name constant."

Your constant greeting need to hold the entire string asked for. Your third variable was never asked for.

Task one code should like this:

let name = "Beezhan"
let greeting = "Hi There, \(name)"

Hope that helps. Keep Coding! :)
