Its asking me to do an interpolated greeting for "Greeting" but its not letting me do it.

Question

This is what its asking me to do: This feature can be implemented quite simply using string interpolation. 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.".

Note: Make sure to enter a period/full stop after your name in the final string.

This is my code: let name = "Wacey"

let greeting = "(Hey there,) (name)."

What am I doing wrong???????

Hi Wacey,

For string interpolation to work, you need to enclose the constant in parentheses AND include a backslash in front of the opening paren. You don't need to put parentheses around the words 'Hey there' because 'Hey there' is a string.

Example:

let name = "Wacey"

let greeting = "Hey there, \(name)."
