Declare a constant named finalGreeting, and concatenate the value of greeting with the string literal " How are you?".

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

let finalGreeting =  (greeting); "how are you?"

Hello:

Concatenating two strings is simple, all you have to do is add a plus sign between two strings.
