It isn't working even though i used the exact method from the video... I have tried different itteratios as well. The greet constant had to modified to get the compiler to work too... what going on?
// Enter your code below
let name = "Danni"
let greeting = "Hi there \(name)"
let finalGreeting = "\(greeting), How are you?"

Treehouse TeacherThe devil is in the details... or so they say. But this may be especially true of coding challenges. The challenge explicitly asks you to use concatenation, which is something that was covered earlier, I believe. Not very long ago at all I posted a solution together with a brief explanation of the difference between concatenation and interpolation. Take a look here:
Hope this helps!

" + " = Concatenation
" () " = interpolation
let name = "Danni"
let greeting = "Hi there \(name)"
let finalGreeting = greeting + "How are you?"
