333 Pointswhy am i getting an error?
i ran the code into xcode and it seems to read it - final read is indeed "hi there, linda"
// Enter your code below
let name = "Linda"
let greeting = "Hi there,"
let interpolateGreeting = "\(greeting) \(name)"

You just went a bit more than what the challenge asked for. For Task 1, you should only have two constants -- name and greeting. The challenge never asked for interpolatedGreeting. You need to have the string and the string interpolation the constant greeting.
let name = "Linda"
let greeting = "Hi there, \(name)"
Hope that helps. Remember, challenges are very picky and very strict in what is being asked and expected. If you add or delete... it usually results in a Bummer! :)

333 PointsHi Jason,
A major LOLZ on my part! You are right, I went a bit too fast. My dearest apologies for contacting you on a matter I could have handled, had a slowed down a bit, and thoroughly read the statement ! Let's blame my excitement?
Thank you so much!!
