String interpolation is a way to create a string by including variables or constants (among other things). To add the constant name into the greeting string, place name inside of \().

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

Pay attention to what is being asked for the second challenge. They are expecting string concatenation this time. That is where you add strings together using the addition operator, +.
