I am not sure what I am doing wrong here. The error says that I need to make sure the constant greeting is interpolated. I believed I had done so.
// Enter your code below
let name = "Salaam"
let greeting = "Hi there"
let greetingPerson = greeting + "," + name
let interpolatedGreeting = "\(greeting)"
let interpolatedGreetingPerson = "\(greeting)\(name)"

It's not letting you pass the Challenge because you're creating too many variables that were not requested. In the first part of the Challenge, name should contain any string you like — such as your name — but greeting is supposed to contain a string value corresponding to, "Hi there, Salaam". The means of combining these two strings — for this first part of the Challenge — is Interpolation.
For the second part of the Challenge, you are to concatenate the value you already have in greeting with the string, ". How are you?" This concatenation is then to be stored in a constant named finalGreeting.
The instructions are usually explicit in these Challenges for a reason; if you don't follow them to the letter, the answer checker will simply not let you pass. But, if you fix the above concerns, the Challenge should let you pass :)
