It keeps saying I'm doing it wrong when it seems to me I'm doing it right. In Xcode, it's working perfectly. Help

Is there a bug or something or am I actually doing something wrong here? Why are there no "hints"? According to Xcode and the tutorial, I'm doing this correctly.

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

Your code is not wrong syntax wise, but it's not doing what the instructions tells you to do. The instructions ask you to interpolate the name constant into a greeting stored in the greeting constant. It does not ask you to create a constant called interpolatedGreeting.

If you interpolate name directly into greeting like this:

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

Then your code will pass the first task.
