Is this line of code missing something? - Challenge task 2/2

All previous lines were accepted during the first half of the challenge. I'm not sure what's wrong with the last line. The first half of the challenge wouldn't accept my answer because I used different punctuation than the example, so I changed my wording with the last line around a few times but it still won't accept it.

strings.swift 
// Enter your code below
let name = "Maryam"
let greeting = "Hi there, \(name)."
let finalGreeting = "\(greeting) How are you?"

This stumps a lot of people. Your solution is correct, and in my opinion better than what the challenge is after. The challenge specifically asks for string concatenation. You have to use string concatenation for this challenge.

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