Hello, I am taking Swift 2.0 Basics. I am on String Interpolation. It gave me instructions to create a constant named "name" and assign it to a string containing my name, which I did as you can see below. It then told me to create a constant named "greeting" and assign it to "Hi there," and an interpolated string in the form of "(name)."
I have tried SEVERAL combinations, and none seem correct. They said the final message should read: "Hi there, Ryan." Which it does in my playground, but it says I am getting it wrong here... what should I do?
let name = "Ryan" let greeting = "Hi there," + "(name)."

Front End Web Development Techdegree Graduate 84,738 PointsIf you're using string interpolation, you need to put the backslash before the parentheses. String concatenation is cool too, which is when you add strings together using the plus sign - but this isn't what they're asking for yet. What you did is sort of both string concatenation and string interpolation, but without the backslash. Let's just do string interpolation for now. I think you use string concatenation in the next exercise.
let name = "Ryan"
let greeting = "Hi there,\(name)"
