The confusion here is the value in between your brackets in your Strings interpolation. For this, you actually have to simply enter you constant instead of it's assigned value.

// Enter your code below

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

Since, we are trying to retrieve the information from your constant. In this example, your constants are just place holders for the value stored in them.

This method is great to format your strings more efficiently.

Hope it helps!
