Please let me know what i'm doing wrong. Thank you so much.
// Enter your code below
let name = "zach"
var whatever = "Hi there"
let finalGreeting = "How are you"
let greeting = "\(whatever), \(name) + finalGreeting"

the problem is that you should use interpolation for the greeting constant and concatenation for the finalGreeting constant. However you're saving your final greeting into the greeting constant and your string concatenation doesn't work because you're writing your constant finalGreeting inside of quotes. Also note to write all the punctuation characters like "?" and the period the challenge wants you to write.
Besides that you should use string interpolation for the greeting constant which means that you actually don't need the "whatever" variable.
It should work like this:
// Enter your code below
let name = "Zach"
let greeting = "Hi there, \(name)."
let finalGreeting = greeting + " How are you?"
I hope that helps! :)

Courses Plus Student 11,071 PointsAccording to the assignment, you first have to assign a string to greeting by interpolation. The string final greeting has to be assigned via concatenation. That would look like the following:
let name = "Zach"
let greeting = "Hi there, \(name)"
let finalGreeting = greeting + " How are you?"
Hope that helps :)
