After watching the videos i thought i had a pretty good grasp on this, and when i took the code challenge it said it was wrong but it works in Xcode. This is the code i used in Xcode: let interpolatedGreeting = "(greeting), (name)." which is what was taught on the lesson but the answer required this: let greeting = "Hi there, (name)" and that would work on the challenge but not Xcode, Please advise.

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