I can't seem to get this exercise, is there supposed to be a greeting and then on another line interpolatedGreeting?

I'm not exactly sure how to get the interpolated greeting value

strings.swift 
let name = "Jacob"
let greeting = \("Hi there,") \(name)

Hi Jacob,

You've almost got it, but the interpolation isn't quite right. The variable should be inside the string, try this:

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

That's sometimes how it works. A lot of the time I figure something out when I explain how it is not working!

Enjoy. :)
