let name = "Che'" let greeting = "Hi,there"
let interpolatedGreeting = "(greeting), (name)"
// Enter your code below
let name = "Che'"
let greeting = "Hi,there"
let interpolatedGreeting = "\(greeting), \(name)"

The top code where you define the constant interpolatedGreeting is missing the backslash before each parantheses closure. Notice where they are in the strings.swift file under the constant of the same name. Without it, you're just setting interpolatedGreeting with the string literal "(greeting), (name)".

It then asks that you declare a constant called greeting that uses string interpolation to the literal string "Hi there, " with the constant name. The challenges are very particular about the output they ask for.
In your case, the value of greeting should in the end contain the string Hi there, Che'."
Hope this helps!
