Not sure what's wrong. I'm on the second part of the string manipulation code challenge.

Here is the code.

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

strings.swift 
// Enter your code below

Hi Sherwin,

There are a few differences. The greeting, you don't need to put the ("") around the text to display as it is already inside the double quotes.

The second step is asking you to use concatenation - add the new string to the variable.

Below will get you through.

let name = "Sherwin"
let greeting = "Hi there, \(name)"
let finalGreeting = greeting + ". How are you?"
