Concatenation

I can't find out to declare a constant named finalGreeting and concatenate the value of greeting with the string literal "How are you?"

Can anyone help?

strings.swift
// Enter your code below

let name = "Kris"

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

let finalGreeting = "How are you?, \(greeting), \(name)"

let concatenatedGreeting = greeting + ", " + name + ", " + finalGreeting

Only add one more constant (not two), in which you use concatenation to create the finalGreeting constant.

let name = "Kris"

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

let finalGreeting = greeting + "How are you?"
