why is it wrong?

I checked it on xcode and it works...

strings.swift
// Enter your code below
let name = "Kepler"
let greeting = "Hi there"
let interpolatedGreeting = "\(greeting),\(name)"

Your syntax here is valid, but it doesn't do what the challenge asks. The challenge asks you to have the full sentence, including your name interpolated into it, in the greeting constant instead of creating a 3rd interpolatedGreeting variable. Also, be sure to put a space after the comma (,) in the sentence. After making those changes, your code passes the challenge for me

Again, you don't need to make a 3rd constant to pass the challenge. All you need is greeting, not interpolatedGreeting. Also, your syntax for interpolation was valid in the code you tried at first, but not in this one. Don't forget the backslashes (\)! That being said, it's good you added a space after the comma (,) in this one. That part is necessary to pass
