code works on xcode but will not pass the test?

let name = "Neil" let greeting = "Hi there" let interpolatedName = "(greeting), (name)"

result is "Neil" "Hi there" "Hi there, Neil" as far as i can see this is the right code as is works on xcode but then i put it in on the test copy and past so i know its the same its not letting me go on. can any one help.

Heya Neil,

I think it should be:

let interpolatedName = "(greeting), (name)"

Since your interpolating the constants into the string. There are forward slashes "\" proceeding the parentheses () FYI, the comment box is removing them automatically...

Hey Neil,

You are close! You need to prefix your string literals with a "\". See the below code:

let name = "Neil"
let greeting = "Hi there"
let interpolatedName = "\(greeting), \(name)"

hi thomas i copyed your code and it still comes up with " Bummer! Make sure the value you are assigning to greeting is an interpolated string"

Hi Neil,

I had to dig up the challenge. Looks like the last task is asking you to concatenate. Hope this helps.

// Enter your code below

//This covers the first task
let name = "Neil"

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

//the second task asks you to concatenate greeting and " How are you?"
let finalGreeting = greeting + " How are you?"
