Logan Standard
1,015 PointsInterpolatedAddress Challenge Task 2 of 2 Question
Now that we have an appropriate greeting for our user, let's make a bit more polite by concatenating with a second string literal.
Declare a constant named finalGreeting, and concatenate the value of greeting with the string literal " How are you?".
// Enter your code below
let name = "Logan"
let finalGreeting = "How are you"
let greeting = "Hi there, \(name) \(finalGreeting)"

Treehouse TeacherYou did fine on the first step of the challenge, but you weren't supposed to change what you'd already written. And the challenge specifically asks you to use concatenation. The backslash and parentheses method is interpolation. Using a plus sign to smush together two strings is concatenation. Take a look at your edited code that passes the challenge.
// Enter your code below
let name = "Logan"
let greeting = "Hi there, \(name)."
let finalGreeting = greeting + "How are you?"
If you were to now print out the value of finalGreeting you'd see this: "Hi there, Logan. How are you?". Hope this helps!
