My code does not work and I have no idea why

Have a look at my code let name = "Mathias" let greeting = "Hi there, (name)" let finalGreeting = "(greeting). How are you?"

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

Hi Mathias,

See my notes in your code:

// Enter your code below
let name = "Mathias"
let greeting = "Hi there, \(name)"
let finalGreeting = "\(greeting). How are you?" //You interpolated the constant greeting instead of concatenating it.

Here is how to create final greeting using concatenation:

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

I hope this helps
