There is a note in the challenge : Important: In each task of this code challenge, the code you write should be added to the code from the previous task. The message from the checker is probably for the first task even though you are on to the second.

Anyways the final expression will read "Hi there, Adam. How are you?". The greeting variable should be lowercase with the name at the end

let name = "Adam."
let greeting = "Hi there, \(name)"

Then for the second task just concatenate with the text provided:

let finalGreeting = greeting + "How are you?"

One issue right off the bat is that your "Greeting" constant declaration is uppercase. The final code should only contain three lines. Note that in the above answer, the output would be "Hi there, Adam.How are you?" 

// Enter your code below

let name = "Adam"
let greeting = "Hi there, \(name)" 

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