I am unsure of how I have gotten the wrong concatenation to create the final required string. Would anyone help please?

Below I am stuck, would someone be able to help me out?

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

let finalGreeting = "\(greet). \(greeting)"

Hi James -

  1. There is no constant needed for greet, the task does not ask you to create one.
  2. For finalGreeting you are just combing the interpolated string with the text like below
let name = "Jeff"
let greeting = "Hi there, \(name)"
let finalGreeting = "\(greeting)" + "How are you?"
