Can't see what's wrong

Can you tell me what's wrong in this code please? I am not able to fix this!

strings.swift 
// Enter your code below
let name = "Gennaro"
let greeting = "Hi there"

let interpolateGreeting = "\(greeting), \(name)"

Hi Gennaro,

Read the description again, looks like you left out a step. The greeting should be an interpolated value, 

"Hi there, \(name)"

the final greeting at the end however they want you to concatenate.

let finalGreeting = greeting + ". How are you?"

// Enter your code below
let name = "Gennaro"
let greeting = "Hi there, \(name)"
