There really isn't anything "wrong" with your code to be honest. It works in Xcode. Its just not exactly what they are looking for in the challenge. The first part asks for interpolation and the second asks for concatenation. Your answer uses interpolation for both.

This is more like what they are looking for...

let name = "Ronald"

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

let finalGreeting = greeting + "How are you?"

Good work other than that! Keep on coding!

Nothing is wrong with your code. It compiles just fine for me in my playground. Is there something you expect it to do? If you want it to show up in the debug area then you can do this: 

print("\(finalGreeting)")
