Hi. Trying to complete the "string interpolation" challenge, I am having difficulties completing it. What am I missing?

Is my code wrong?

strings.swift 
// Enter your code below
let name = "Adalberto"
let greeting = "Hi there, \(name).."

Your code is not wrong syntactically. You're creating a string that the challenge is not expecting. You created "Hi there, Adalberto..", but it was expecting "Hi there, Adalberto".

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

If you need help with the second part of the challenge leave a comment on here. Pay attention to the question. It is expecting string concatenation this time, not string interpolation.
