let name = "John Henry" let greeting = "Hi there," let interpolatedGreeting = "\(greeting) \(name)" y not working?

let name = "John Henry" let greeting = "Hi there," let interpolatedGreeting = "(greeting) (name)"

let name = "John Henry" let greeting = "(Hi there,) (name)"

I've tried both the above options to create the interpolated string that the quiz asks for and it keeps throwing errors for both. What am I doing wrong here?

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

let name = "John Henry"
let greeting = "\(Hi there,) \(name)"

Too much. You only need this:

let name = "John Henry"
let greeting = "Hi there,\(name)"
