What am I doing wrong here?

I got it to work at one point but the app didn't save it as completed. Now, going back to it to try to close out this task, I can't get the greeting string to work.

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

Hi Bryan,

The name of the constant/variable holding the value to be interpolated goes inside the brackets. The whole string is surrounded by double-quotes. 

// Enter your code below
let name = "Steve"
let greeting = "Hi there, \(name)"

Make sense?

Steve.
