Hi Francesso,

let name = "Franko"

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

Above is the correct code for the question.

You're simply combing the greeting "Hi there" with the constant "name" with interpolation. This then returns "Hi there, Franko"

If you wanted to return the same result using string concatenation, it would be written as:

let name = "Franko"

let greeting = "Hi there, " + name + "."

hope this helps :)

// Enter your code below
let name = "Franko"
let greeting = "Hi there, \(name)."
let finalGreeting = greeting + " How are you?"

Take care to put in the proper spaces and punctuation.
