Now that we have an appropriate greeting for our user, let's make a bit more polite by concatenating the greeting string

Now that we have an appropriate greeting for our user, let's make a bit more polite by concatenating the greeting string with a second string literal.

Declare a constant named finalGreeting, and concatenate the value of greeting with the string literal " How are you?".

Example: "Hi there, Pasan. How are you?"

strings.swift 
let name = "Munir"
let ee = "Hi there"

let greeting = "\(ee), \(name)"

let finalGreeting = "greeting". + "how are you?"

Hi Munir,

You've done the first part in a roundabout fashion, but it works! Good stuff!

Next, you want to concatenate the constant named greeting with another string. Use the + symbol with the constant's name. You don't need the quotes for that:

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

Make sense?

Steve.
