Unable to complete Code challenge

What is wrong with this statement? When I try it on Xcode, the result is exactly what is expected on your instructions. However, I still get an error.

strings.swift
// Enter your code below
 let name = "Alan"
 let greeting = "Hi there, \(name)."
 let finalGreeting = "\(greeting) How are you?"

Hey Alan Christensen,

Your code is valid but this challenge wants you to use String Concatenation to create the finalGreeting. This can be done with the addition operator +. Take a look below:

// Enter your code below
 let name = "Alan"
 let greeting = "Hi there, \(name)."
 let finalGreeting = greeting + " How are you?"

This is another way of combining Strings in Swift. One string can be added on to another through the use of simple addition.

Hope this helps. Good Luck!
