what's wrong with my code?

Hi, I have no idea what is wrong with my code! And it's just two lines. lol

let name = "Maru" let greeting = "Hi there, " + name + "."

I can't pass the challenge task and it keeps saying something like "Make sure the values you assign to greeting is a interpolated string".

Hi there.

What you did here isn't wrong, and it yields the same result. However, this challenge asks that you inject the constant name into the String using string interpolation.

Second, declare a constant named greeting. Set the value of greeting to an interpolated string that combines "Hi there, " with the string stored in the name constant.

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