Isn't that the right code?

In this task we're going to declare two strings. First, declare a constant named name and assign to it a String containing your name.

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.

As an example, the final value of greeting could be "Hi there, Linda".

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

You're close, but "Hi there" is not a variable name. So it should just be in the string by itself without the markup for recognizing and replacing a variable with its value.
