Interpolation..I feel like I missed something

I don't understand what I'm doing wrong.

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

Here is the working code:

let name = "James"
let greeting = "Hi there, "
let interpolatedGreeting = "\(greeting) \(name)"

What you are missing is quotation marks around your string literals.

What you are doing here is constructing a new string by inserting name and greeting using \(...) expression.
