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

While your code is technically correct, it is not what the challenge asks for.
The final task is to use string concatenation not interpolation.
So
let finalGreeting = "\(greeting) How are you?"
Should be
let finalGreeting = (greeting) + "How are you?"
Also, just a suggestion. Instead of putting the period after you name stored in the variable, you should put it after the \(name) in the interpolated string. For this example either work and cause no problems, but in a large project, if you were to reuse your name variable in the middle of a sentence, the period would still show up and be out of place. Make sense?
Hope this helps. Keep Coding! :)
