I'm pretty sure I'm doing this correctly. Please check.

Code check doesn't seem to be working.

strings.swift 
// Enter your code below

let name = "Porter"

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

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

Hey porterjacobson,

Your code is technically correct, it's just not how the challenge wants you to solve the problem. You're using String Interpolation to create your finalGreeting when you are being asked to use Concatenation.

// Enter your code below

let name = "Porter"

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

let finalGreeting = greeting + " How are you?"

Good Luck!
