What is the main mistake in the declaration?

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

Quick glance: Syntax depends a bit on what language your writing in.

String interpolation is a way to construct a new String value from a mix of constants, variables, literals, and expressions by including their values inside a string literal. You can use string interpolation in both single-line and multiline string literals. Each item that you insert into the string literal is wrapped in a pair of parentheses, prefixed by a backslash (\):

let multiplier = 3
let message = "\(multiplier) times 2.5 is \(Double(multiplier) * 2.5)"
// message is "3 times 2.5 is 7.5"

Hi,

in the challenge they asking you create just two constants. You created three. So let greeting constant should contain "Hi there" and the name. So you did everything correct but need to change.
