It's asking me to make sure the value I'm assigning to greeting is an interpolated string. I'm pretty sure it is.

I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong here.

strings.swift 
// Enter your code below

let name = "Adam"

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

You do not need to interpolate "Hi There, ". You only need to interpolate the variable that you are passing in. Should read like this:

// Enter your code below

let name = "Adam"

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