Variables with other Variables

Hi,

I using the Swift 2.0 Basics tutorial series to start learning Swift and maybe create apps in the near future. At the moment, I am at a quiz and my code doesn't work

On the bottom, you see a few lines of code which should work with Swift. The Workspace editor here on the site says that it's piece of shit, but in my Xcode it works great (see here: http://imgur.com/1vGroFi).

Is there anything I am doing wrong?! I don't get it :/

strings.swift 
// Enter your code below

let name: String = "Linda"
var greeting: String = "Hi there, \(name)."

You are very close and what you have will compile and run. You are declaring greeting as a variable instead of a constant which is what the task is asking for. 

let name: String = "Linda"
// change var to let here
let greeting: String = "Hi there, \(name)."

Hi,

this doesn't work, too. I think the challenge is dumb. I've skipped it.

I just tried it and it make you take out the : String part. I don't know why but that worked for me.
