Treehouse TeacherHi there! You're doing well, but the challenge explicitly asks for the finalGreeting to use concatenation. You're using interpolation. They're testing your ability here to achieve similar results using different methods. And not that this would make the challenge fail, but you have an extra period in your string and the "h" isn't capitalized. Currently your string would look like this if printed: "Hi there, Rayhan. . how are you?", which isn't exactly what we're after.
String interpolation is the use of backslash and parentheses to insert the value of a variable into that spot inside a string literal. Concatenation is putting two strings together using a plain old plus sign. Take a look at how close you are!
// Enter your code below
let name = "Rayhan"
let greeting = "Hi there, \(name)."
let finalGreeting = greeting + " How are you?"
Happy coding!
