Hi Kevin!

You are pretty close there but I can spot the mistakes you are making. First of all, definitely keep an eye on your capitalisation as most programming languages are case-sensitive and anything being in the wrong case can completely break your program. Secondly, the challenge might be failing because when you are interpolating your string of 'Kevin' into the greeting you aren't giving it a space before-hand so it would print out like this "Hi thereKevin". Finally, make sure you watch out for your variable name. Variable names cannot contain spaces to "interpolation name" is not a valid variable.

So, if you use the following code everything should work absolutely fine for you!

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

I hope that I managed to help you out!
