yes, actually your code is perfectly fine, good job! :) The only problem is that the challenge wants you to use concatenation instead of string interpolation for the second task. So if you concatenate the greeting with " How are you?" with a "+" it should work just fine.
Like so:
// Enter your code below
let name = "Adam"
let greeting = "Hi there, \(name)."
let finalGreeting = greeting + " How are you?"
I hope that helps! :)

let name = "Chelsea" let greeting = "hey there, (name)" let FinalGreeting = greeting + " how are you?"

31,603 PointsHey there Sam,
good job until here! Firstly you don't have a backslash when you're trying to interpolate name. But maybe this is a formatting issue with the Forums. The problem why you're not passing the last task is that your "finalGreeting" constant is called "FinalGreeting", note that you wrote the "F" in uppercase.
You should write variable/constant names in Swift with camelCase where the first word starts with a lowercase letter. When the challenge is evaluated it checks for "finalGreeting" but can't find it because it's case sensitive and "FinalGreeting" is another constant. Also take care to write the strings exactly like the challenge wants you to as the challenges can be very picky about that.
// Enter your code below
let name = "Chelsea"
let greeting = "Hi there, \(name)."
let finalGreeting = greeting + " How are you?"
I hope that helps! :)
