When I set my greeting as an interpolated string it gives me errors about the "Hi there,". How should I fix this?

What should I do to the interpolated string to fix this?

strings.swift 
// Enter your code below

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

"Hi there," does not need to be interpolated because it is not a variable or constant, it is just a string. When you interpolate a variable or constant with the back slash parentheses syntax, you are referencing the value within the variable or constant.

So, your code should look like this:

//Enter your code below

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

Thank you for your help. I appreciate it! I was a little confused on interpolated strings at first but I am starting to get the hang of it now.
