Courses Plus Student 196 Pointswhats wrong with my code?
why is this wrong?
// Enter your code below let name = "Russ" let greeting = "Hi there, " let interpolatedGreeting = "(greeting) (name) (.)"
// Enter your code below
let name = "Russ"
let greeting = "Hi there, "
let interpolatedGreeting = "\(greeting) \(name) \(.)"

The code is incorrect because the period you're trying to insert into the tail end of the "interpolatedGreeting" constant does not need to be included into the escape characters \( ) - those are only for inserting constants or variables into the new string. You can instead just enter the period as is like so:
let interpolatedGreeting = "\(greeting) \(name)."

The challenge is looking for certain things. First, a constant called name that contains a string and, second, a constant called greeting that contains the words "Hi there, " and then an interpolated insertion of the name constant.
It's not looking for a constant called interpolatedGreeting so that's why your code isn't passing the challenge. A solution to the first part of this challenge could look something like:
let name = "Steve"
let greeting = "Hi there, \(name)."
I hope that helps - let me know how you get on.
Steve.
