iOS Swift Basics Swift Types String Manipulation

in Xcode my example has a final output of "Hi there, Luke" What am I doing wrong here?

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

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

let name = "Luke" let greeting = "Hi There," (name)"

This also gives me an output of "Hi there, Luke"

I'm very confused

Hi Luke!

You should interpolate the name constant to a greeting constant, not to another constant. In other words, the constant greeting should look "Hi there, Luke" :)

Thank you!! I got through it!

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