The Strings are not interpolating let name = "Rea" let greeting = "\("Hi,there, "), \(name)"

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

strings.swift
// Enter your code below

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

HI there,

You only need to interpolate the variable contents, not the actual string. So, lose the slash, the brackets and extra "" around the "Hi there" bit and you're fine. Check your commas etc. too as the challenge will be wanting a precise output.

interpolate = "This is the string, \(var_name)"
