I test in my Xcode, it works but strings.swift notice wrong

let name = "BORAMA"

let greeting = "("Hi there,"), (name)"

let finalGreeting = "(greeting), ("How are you?")"

strings.swift 
// Enter your code below

let name = "BORAMA"

let greeting = "\("Hi there"), \(name)"

let finalGreeting = "\(greeting). \("How are you?")"

Hi Richard,

You're receiving the "Bummer" because you didn't provide what the challenge asked for. For Task 2, it wants you to use Concatenation to generate the final statement, but you are using Interpolation. Just change the format to Concatenate the string together instead. If you're unsure on how to Concatenate a String, you can review this video starting at 4:30.

Also, while it won't throw an error, you shouldn't be Interpolating string literals. Only variables need to be interpolated. So, 

let greeting = "\("Hi there"), \(name)"

should only be

let greeting = "Hi there, \(name)"

Keep Coding! :) :dizzy:
