Hi Deepak,

try to change the last line to let greeting = "Hi there, \(name)"

you are getting the error because you're trying to combine string concatenation with string interpolation. It's easier if with string interpolation, just wrap your constant in \(constant) and then you are able to using it in a string literal.

you can read more about string interpolation here https://developer.apple.com/library/content/documentation/Swift/Conceptual/Swift_Programming_Language/StringsAndCharacters.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40014097-CH7-ID292
