Hello!

If you read closely, it tells you to concatenate greeting with the string "How are you?". You are currently using string interpolation. The final line should be replaced with this:

'''

let finalGreeting = greeting + "How are you?"

'''

Just to be clear, your code prints the same result, but the challenge tells you specifically to use concatenation.
