Nothing is really "wrong", because you successfully used string concatenation to create a string. However, the challenge is expecting that "interpolated greeting" to be assigned to the constant greeting. The challenge doesn't expect, or know anything about, the constant interpolatedGreeting.

let name = "Bennet"
let greeting = "Hi There, \(name)"

Pay attention to what the second part of this challenge is asking as well! This part stumps a lot of people because they overlook the word "concatenate"! You must use string concatenation in part two.

Happy coding!

The comma needs to be included in greeting.

So greeting = “Hi There,”
