Works fine in XCode but is deemed wrong by treehouse

let name = "Fili" let greeting = "("Hi there, ") (name)"

produces the right result, but is not accepted as the right answer.

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

There is no reason to do string interpolation on strings with no variables assigned to them.

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

The code above that Hi and there are actually variables/objects of swift, not strings

There is no reason to have "Hi there" in () interpolation. It would be better to write

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