Help! What am I doing wrong?

"Now that we have an appropriate greeting for our user, let's make a bit more polite by concatenating the greeting string with a second string literal.

Declare a constant named finalGreeting, and concatenate the value of greeting with the string literal " How are you?".

Example: "Hi there, Pasan. How are you?" "

In Xcode, it is showing exactly what I want to see, but here it is not letting me advance. And I doing it wrong?

strings.swift
// Enter your code below
let name = "Josh"
let greeting = "Hi there,"
let finalGreeting = "How are you?"
let interpolatedGreeting = "\(greeting) \(name). "

let concatenatedGreeting = interpolatedGreeting+finalGreeting

Hope seeing the answer helps. Looks like you didn't interpret the instructions.

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