Not sure where I am messing up here...

A little help please:)

strings.swift
// Enter your code below
let name = "Cody"

let greeting = "Hi there, \(name)."

let finalGreeting = "\(greeting) How are you?"

Although the result will be the same, the second task asks you declare a constant named finalGreeting and concatenate the value of greeting with the string literal " How are you?". The keyword here is concatenate, you have to concatenate two strings without using string interpolation.

// Enter your code below
let name = "Cody"
let greeting = "Hi there, \(name)."
let finalGreeting = ... // concatenate greeting and " How are you?" here

This is not the final solution, of course, but maybe it helps :) Let me know if you could solve it this way!
