I can't find what's wrong with my code. When I paste it into Xcode it works fine.

let name = "Gregory." let greeting = "Hi there"

let interpolatedGreeting = "(greeting), (name)"

strings.swift 
//: [Previous] (@previous)

let name = "Gregory."
let greeting = "Hi there"

let interpolatedGreeting = "\(greeting), \(name)"

Yes, your answer is correct in that it will yield the final, required string. However, the question specifically asks you to use concatenation to form the final string.

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