I've typed out exactly what's specified but its coming up wrong. What's my mistake here?

Hi Jennifer,

I'm still not able to do it, I tried concatenation with each possible entry and it won't work.

I can't post a screen shot but the code I have is below.

let name = "Asad"

let greeting = "Hi there, (name)."

let finalGreeting = "greeting + name"

Isn't the last line using concatenation of the variable greeting and the string literal for my name?

It's still not quite correct. First, you've removed the backslash in your string interpolation in the greeting constant. But you did add the full stop! And the finalGreeting constant is supposed to concatenate the variables greeting and the string literal " How are you?". Note the leading space before the word "How". But what you've done is assign a string literal of "greeting + name" to the `finalGreeting. Take a look:

// Enter your code below
let name = "Asad"

let greeting = "Hi there, \(name)."

let finalGreeting = greeting + " How are you?"

Here we set the name to the string literal "Asad". Then in greeting we assign the string "Hi there, \(name)". Because of the string interpolation here, greeting will now hold the string "Hi there, Asad.". Then we create finalGreeting and concatenate the string in in greeting (as described in the previous sentence) and the string literal " How are you?". The end result will be that finalGreeting will hold the string "Hi there, Asad. How are you?". Hope this clarifies things!

Good job! I was posting when you were posting yours But I'll leave my comment up for a breakdown for other students who might be looking for this answer.
