Set the value of Greeting to an Interpolated String

Here's what I wrote bu t it does not work: let name = "Mike" let greeting = "Hi there," let interpolatedGreeting = "(greeting) (name)"

strings.swift 
// Enter your code below
let name = "Mike"
let greeting = "Hi there,"
let interpolatedGreeting = "\(greeting) \(name)"

Hi Mike,

Try to make it on the greeting . I think it was really spefic how you make it, so you can pass the exercise.

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

Best regards M

Hi Mike,

Matti is spot on, the exercise has to be done in a very particular way. Just wanted to point out a slight typo in the final line of Matti's reply however that would stop the code from passing successfully.

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

That should do it, good luck!

//You are hardcoding the variables. you need to allow for a soft code input with a function.

func sayHello(personName: String) -> String {

let greeting = "Hello " + personName + "!"

return greeting

}

//then you can test as below;

//1) make an instance using any name you want.

let greet = sayHello(personName: "Neneng")

//now you can call it greet

// and you can print it. print(greet)
