let name = "Jeff"
let greeting = "Hi there \(name)"

let name = "john"
let greeting = "hi there (name)"

Jeff McDivitt
23,970 PointsHi Shariff - In your code you still do not have a back slash in front of your name variable which is using string interpolation
let name = "Jeff"
let greeting = "Hi there \(name)"
