Swift 3 basics, task 1 of 2. What am I missing here?

// Enter your code below let name = "Mark" let greeting = "Hi there" let interpolatedGreetingName = "(greeting), (name)"

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

Hey mark! Looks like your syntax is a little off. So what the instructions state is that they want let greeting to be a interpolated string containing your name.

This would be written as such:

let name = "Paul"

let greeting = "Hi there, (name)"

EDIT: For some reason it's not showing up on the answer, but there is a backslash right before (name).

Thanks Paul,

The backslash did it!
