Hey Daniel Sarber,

You only use string interpolation to access the value inside a a variable or constant and display it as a String. The "Hi there," section of the string is what is known as a String literal. This is already a string so no interpolation is needed to convert it.

// Enter your code below
let name = "Dan Sarber"
let greeting = "Hi there, \(name)."

Good Luck!
