String Interpolation

Can someone please help, It said that to make sure the value you are assigning to greeting is an interpolated string. I am so confused on what I did wrong.

strings.swift 
// String Interpolation
let name = "Linda"
let greeting = "Hi there"
let interpoltedGreeting = "\(greeting), \(name)"

The problem is that it wants the constant "greeting" to be the interpolated string, not a third variable. Like this: 

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