Hey,

you almost got it right! Note that you don't need to concatenate a comma and that "How are you?" has to be a String, so don't forget the quotes around it. And also don't forget to add the period after the interpolated name in the greeting constant.

Like so:

// Enter your code below

let name = "Louis"
let greeting = "Hi there, \(name)."
let finalGreeting = greeting + " How are you?"

I hope that helps! :)

Ahhh got it I thought you always had to concatenate the comma cause it showed that in the video. You Rock Tobias! thanks man
