String manipulation Task 2 of 2

String manipulation Task 2 of 2 seems to be not working.

I've tried everything but the task won't accept it. What do I do wrong?

I've tried:

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

and:

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

Both compile and give me the same result but the task keeps telling me Bummer!

The second task ask you concatenate the greeting string with the string literal " How are you?"

Code should look like this:

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

Hope this helps.
