Stuck on strings code challenge in Swift course even though it compiles correctly in Xcode?

I'm on the first code challenge called String manipulation.

Here's my work: let name = "Gabriel" let greeting = "Hi there, " + "(name)"

Also confused why there aren't solution keys included if a student is stuck...

You are using string interpolation and concatenating strings :)

You can just do string interpolation like this:

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