Interpolation of these two constants not working.

The "Bummer" is telling me to assign the string to the right variable.

strings.swift 
// Enter your code below

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

Hi Conor,

You have \() around a string literal ("Hi there, "). Which is telling the Swift compiler that "Hi there, " is an expression you want to be evaluated and then combined with the rest of the string.

Have a look at the Swift documentation for strings (string interpolation is about 40% of the way down the page).

Cheers

Alex
