Hey there Minji,

the problem in your code is that you have to interpolate the constant inside of a String and assign it to the greeting constant but right now you're trying to interpolate the String itself and you're using concatenation to add the name constant (you'll have to use concatenation in the next part of the challenge by the way).

To interpolate the constant name you can just write the String like you would normally do but you have to write the constant you want to interpolate inside of \() .

Like so:

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

I hope that helps, if you have further questions feel free to ask! :)
