Hi,

You didn't interpolate the first constant into the second. the result should be "Hi there + Shamir or whatever name you will have write in the first string.

Hey Shamir,

When using interpolation, you want to insert the constant or variable into the string, using the constant's label in the brackets, not the string.

So if the goal is "Hi there, Shamir" then you'll what to assign the following to greeting instead...

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

Hope that helps!
