What am I doing wrong?

I'm not able to get past this

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

Hey there,

While your code is technically correct in syntax, it's not what the challenge is asking for.

Task one you have is correct with your name assigned to a constant named name

Task two only asks for one more constant named greeting, but you also have a third constant? The interpolated string the challenge is looking for needs to be assigned only to the greeting constant. So you need to delete the interpolatedGreeting and do everything for the second task with only one line of code assigned to the constant greeting.

Give it another go with that in mind, and remember challenges are very picky and extremely strict. So, you always need to pay very close attention to the instructions and never add more than what is asked.

Keep Coding! :)

The challenge asks you to set the greeting variable to an interpolated string containing "Hi there, NAME", it does not ask you to create a separate interpolatedgreeting variable where you do the interpolation.

The solution to the first task looks like this:

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