I tried this in Xcode and it works, so why do I keep getting an error here on the website?

You're really close! You're just not using string interpolation correctly.
// here we define a constant and set it to your name, the value "Marko" of type String
// Swift can infer that this is a String so we don't need to implicitly write it
let name = "Marko"
// here we define a constant called greeting and
// we set this greeting to "Hi there, Marko" using string interpolation
let greeting = "Hey there, \(name)"
/* \(variable) this is the format for string interpolation, where variable is the name
of the constant or variable that we want to pass in */
Good luck!
