Treehouse TeacherHi there, PAUL LEWALLEN ! You are simply missing part of the instructions on the second step. Take a look:
Now that we have an appropriate greeting for our user, let's make a bit more polite by concatenating the greeting string with a second string literal. Declare a constant named finalGreeting, and concatenate the value of greeting with the string literal " How are you?".
In these instructions, it says to use concatenation to achieve the results, but you are using interpolation. While it will have the same result, the challenge is specifically testing your ability to use both interpolation and concatenation. Interpolation is when we use the backslash and the parentheses to insert the value of a variable in that place in the string. Concatenation is when we use the plus sign (+) to put two strings together.
I feel like you can get it with this hint, but let me know if you're still stuck!
