How is this not an Interpolated String? let name = "Joseph" let greeting = "Hi there, " + "\(name)"

The question was for me to write a interpolated string with the value of name + "Hi there "

strings.swift 
// Enter your code below
let name = "Joseph"

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

Hey Drew Scolaro,

You are currently creating your String by using both String Interpolation and Concatenation. The challenge wants you to just use Interpolation.

 // Enter your code below
let name = "Joseph"

// String Interpolation... "\(variable)"

// String Concatenation... "string1" + "string2" 

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

Good Luck
