Missing a step in completing an interpolated string. Not sure why I'm getting error. Thanks

A bit discouraged since so early doing constant strings. I can't get pass completing an interpolated string. I did a backward slash with double quotes. Just not sure where I'm going wrong and watched the video five times and still missing something.

strings.swift 
// Enter your code below
let name = "barry simons"
let greeting = "hi there"
let NameGreeting = "\(name), \(greeting)"

In the task you should interpolate the name constant into the greeting constant. And in the second task you should concatenate this greeting constant with How are you question. Like this:

// Enter your code below
let name = "Barry Simons"
let greeting = "Hi there, \(name)."

// Second task
let finalGreeting = greeting + " How are you?"
