Courses Plus Student 172 PointsI'm stuck, I have to concatenate. And i forgot how it works..
// I already have this constant.
let greeting = "Hi there, (name)"
// but now it wants me to declare a new constant named "finalGreeting" with the the "greeting" constant, and add a new string. I did this -
let finalGreeting = "(greeting). How are you?"
// and it tells me "Bummer! - Make sure you're using concatenate"
//Please help me, maybe this might be easy, but i'm completely lost :)
// Enter your code below
let name = "Sebastian"
let greeting = "Hi there, \(name)"
let finalGreeting = "\(greeting) How are you?"

Treehouse TeacherTry and remember it this way. The strange combination of backslash and parentheses... that's interpolation. Concatenation... that's just a plus sign :) Take a look at the line you need and see how close you actually were!
let finalGreeting = greeting + "How are you?"
