In this task we're going to declare two strings. First, declare a constant named name and assign to it a String containing your name.
Second, declare a constant named greeting. Set the value of greeting to an interpolated string that combines "Hi there, " with the string stored in the name constant.
As an example, the final value of greeting could be "Hi there, Linda".
let name = "Eric" let greeting = " Hi there," let interpolatedGreeting = "(greeting), (name)"
what am I doing wrong/
// Enter your code below
let name = "Eric"
let greeting = "Hi there,""\(name)"

The problem here is that you've got a few too many quotation marks in your greeting string.
Currently, you effectively have two separate strings that you are trying to assign to your greeting variable. Hopefully this extended code snipper illustrates the problem:
let name = "Eric"
let greeting = "Hi there," this is no longer a part of the string "\(name)"
And that's your only problem! Remove the additional quotes and you'll complete the challenge:
let greeting = "Hi there, \(name)"
