How to use string interpolation

Here are the instructions... Modify the println statement within the greeting function to use the variable person. For example, if you pass a person named "Tom" to the function then it should display: Hello Tom. (Hint: you must use string interpolation).

parameters.swift 
func greeting(person: String) {
    let myGreeting = "Hello, " + person + "!"
    println()
}
