First off, the syntax on the last line is incorrect. Interpolation is done inside a string, so if you were to do that, it would need to be
"\(greeting), \(name)"
Besides that, the reason you are receiving the Bummer! is because the challenge did not ask for you to create a constant named interpolatedGreeting.
The instructions specifically asks to
declare a constant named greeting. Set the value of greeting to an interpolated string that combines "Hi there, " with the string stored in the name constant.
Right now, your greeting only contains the string "Hi there" It needs to have the string "Hi there," as well as the interpolation to include the name constant.
Give it another go with that in mind. Remember, challenge are very specific and very picky. Instructions must be followed exactly, or the task will fail.
Keep Coding! :)
