What is wrong with my String Interpolation Challenge code?

Working on Swift 2.1, what is going on? I put it into xCode and it works but I keep getting "Make sure you're using concatenation"

strings.swift 
// Enter your code below

let name = "Panan"

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

let finalGreeting = "\(greeting) How are you?"

let name = "Panan"

//You had left out the concatenation operator between the string and the name constant
let greeting = "Hi there, + \(name)."

let finalGreeting = "\(greeting) How are you?"
