I am doing what it asks and the code written compiles in Xcode with a result EXACTLY like the example answer. Help!

let name = "Chris" let greeting = "Hi there, (name)"

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

strings.swift 
// Enter your code below
let name = "Chris"
let greeting = "Hi there, \(name)"

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

The 2nd challenge asks you to concatenate the strings to create the final greeting. You have interpolated them.

Thank you! I knew it was something simple. I got the two mixed up and because the interpolated bit worked above I was just in that mode. Thank you again for responding.
