Hello forum, I'm having a problem with the strings .swift code challenge and i'm not sure where i have gone wrong.

I'm just not sure what to do to pass this challenge i don't know if i have to write in let interpolation and then my name will just pop up or what. i'm stumped here.

strings.swift 
// Enter your code below
let name = "Nathan"
let greeting = "Hi there, name"

Hello Nathan,

In order to add your name to the greeting using string interpolation, you'll need to use the \(var) syntax like this.

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

I hope this helps.
