You want to use concatenation for the last part of the challenge, i.e. add the strings together:

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

(Remember the space in front of How)

Hi Jon,

You need to be pretty prescriptive and follow the output that the challenge wants precisely else it'll fail you:

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

That should get you through the first bit. It is expecting that output, not the extra bit you added, that's all.

My apologies, I didn't help you with the right bit of the code challenge there. That's my fault for rushing!!

Let me try that again - I'll edit this post in a minute.
