can't pass a challenge

I have checked my code on Xcode and its working, but still it keeps sending me an error message

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

Rania,

The problem is, the challenge instructs us to concatenate the greeting string with the string literal " How are you?", you are using interpolation instead. Your code should look like this:

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

Hope this helps
