Yeah you're not supposed to write (Wilian) in the greeting part. You're supposed to refer back to the name constant you created!

Step 3 is to use string concatenation for "finalGreeting". You are using string interpolation (which also works, but not for purposes of the exercise).

See below for answer.

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