it's now working

Again! I've tried this code in Xcode, and it worked! But here, it's not working!!! What's going on with treehouse?! At least give us the opportunity to continue and not to be stuck there!!

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

Hey Masud Mahajna,

Your code is valid! It's just that you're not solving the problem the way that the challenge asks you to. The technique to create your finalGreeting string that you're currently using is called String Interpolation. You need to be using Concatenation. You perform Concatenation by adding one string to another string with the + operator.

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

Good Luck
