hi, this code worked in x code, but not on the quiz?

hi, this code worked in x code, but not on the quiz?

couldn't understand what you wanted me to do.

I tried using "greeting" instead of "hey"- but x code or you would not accept this

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

Hello Sam:

What they want you to do here is to declare only 2 constants and not three, and use string interpolation as follows:

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

This will produce the result of, Hi there, Sam.

Good luck with your coding.
