iOS Swift 2.0 Basics Swift Types String Manipulation

Editor is not taking checking work correctly. I have inputted string via Xcode to make sure it works correctly.

Editor is broken or just not accepting my string.

strings.swift
// Enter your code below
let name = "Gilbert"
let greeting = "Hi there, "
let interpolatedString = "\(greeting) \(name)"

Good start. but you were supposed to interpolate name into greeting. To do String interpolation you use (...)

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

The other way to join strings in concatenation, and that is used in the second task.

P.S., the editor is quite picky, so even if it runs in Xcode it may be rejected if you haven't done what the challenge asks. E.g., here you were supposed to have a period at the end of greeting.

Ah, I understand. Thank you.
