Intepolated String

let name = "Subah" let greeting = "How are you?" let finalGreeting = "Hi there, " + name + "." + greeting

I have entered the following as the answer to my code challenge. However, it says "Make sure that the value assigned to greeting is interpolated". How should I correct it?

strings.swift 
let name = "Subah"
let greeting = "How are you?"
let finalGreeting = "Hi there, " + name + "." + greeting

What you are doing is concatenating the string. You need to interpolate it.

let name = "Subah"
let greeting = "How are you?"
let finalGreeting = "Hi there, \(name) \(greeting)"

That code might not work, but play around with how it works and try to find a solution.
