I'm getting an error that my "finalGreeting" constant value is incorrect. I've looked over my code and can't see anything wrong with it. If anyone has any idea why it's not working please let me know, as it will be greatly appreciated.
My code:
let name = "Michael"
let greeting = "Hi there, \(name)."
let finalGreeting = greeting + " How are you?"

I know that's wrong, but it works.

[EDIT: This has now been fixed - the space is OK]

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

iOS Development Techdegree Student 488 Pointscan somebody explain why this code work? I don't get it.... I thought when making a string literal you always put "()" How is greeting just by itself? why are we using the + sign? my code is the following
let finalGreeting = "\(greeting) How are you?"Steve Hunter

57,712 PointsHi Raymond,
You create a string literal just by using the quotes, like
"Steve". Next, we're interpolating another string into an existing one using the\(var)technique. And lastly we're concatenating two strings using the+operator.So, the final task requires that concatenation be used so you need to add the two strings together.
