let name = "Beezhan." let greeting = "Hi there," let interpolatedGreetingName = "(greeting) (name)"
this has no error in my laptop xCode but it won't work here.
// Enter your code below
let name = "Beezhan."
let greeting = "Hi there,"
let interpolatedGreetingName = "\(greeting) \(name)"

The test behind the challenge is looking for a constant named greeting that contains the text, "Hi there, (name)." That's not what your code is producing, unfortunately.
One solution could look like:
let name = "Steve"
let greeting = "Hi there, \(name)."
The last stage of the challenge requires the greeting constant again to use it in concatention so, again, the tests in the challenge will be making sure that the greeting constant exists:
let name = "Steve"
let greeting = "Hi there, \(name)."
let finalGreeting = greeting + " How are you?"
It can help to remember that having something that works in Xcode and having something that passes the compiler's tests can be two different things. The question asks for specific constant names; your Xcode does not - it just ensures you are using correct syntax.
I hope that helps,
Steve.

5,148 PointsHi Mahmoud! Technically it should not cause any trouble. But I think you better use: let interpolatedGreetingName = greeting + name Which is equivalent to "Hi there,Breezhan", and if you want some space for readability just add it after comma in "Hi there, ". The reason why it did not work here, most likely tutors want you to be good coder so you will be able write clean and good(right) code.
