When you have a string assigned to a constant or a variable, you can use interpolation like (name).

The value "Hi there" is not stored in any variable or a constant, before creating the constant greeting.

The challenge asks you to " declare a constant named greeting. Set the value of greeting to an interpolated string that combines "Hi there, " with the string stored in the name constant."

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

Very correct and that whitespace is very important as well
