112 PointsCan't find the error! please help. let name = "Jahaziel" let greeting = "\(Hi there), \(name)"
The instructions tell me to only use the following 2 strings
let name = "Jahaziel" let greeting = "(Hi there), (name)"
But the "Hi there" is not connected to anything, and that's why I think it's giving me an error, but I don't know what to do about it because that's that what I understand the instructions are telling me. Can someone please help?

You're on the right path, but to implement the greeting string, you need to use string interpolation. Any time you want to include one string in another: you encapsulate the identifier of the string in a pair of parentheses and escape it by putting a backslash in front (like this \(myString)
). So to interpolate your name into the greeting string it should look like this:
let name = "Jahaziel"
let greeting = "Hi there, \(name)"
Hope this helps,
Charles
