I keep seeing "Make sure the value you are assigning to greeting is an interpolated string" but its correct on Xcode.

I keep getting an error message saying "Make sure the value you are assigning to greeting is an interpolated string" but I am following all the steps to create an interpolated string. I put my work in on Xcode and it came out fine. here is what I am doing

let name = "Patrick" let greeting = "Hi there," let interpolatedGreeting = "(greeting) (name)"

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

Hello Patrick,

You're very close! The challenge wants you to assign the interpolated string to the greeting variable, so it expects the value of the greeting variable to equal "Hi there, Patrick".

To complete the challenge, remove the interpolatedGreeting variable and assign the interpolated string to the greeting variable instead. Also, don't forget the comma after "there"!

I hope this helps.
