This is a pretty common mistake, the problem is that the challenge does not want you to create a seperate interpolatedgreeting constant. It wants you to use string interpolation on the value you store into the greeting constant.

While it was not illustrated well in the video preceding this challenge you can mix normal text and string interpolation in the same string, like this:

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

That will result in your name being interpolated into the greeting string which is what the task wants.
