It is correct code, its just not what the challenge asks for. The challenge ask you to use string interpolation in the greeting constant to construct a greeting. It does not say anything about a third constant in this part of the challenge. It should be like this.

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

This challenge is probably badly explained since its asked a lot about.
