802 Pointsit's asking me to concatenate a constant with a string literal... but it won't take it.
this is what i have... i don't understand why it won't take it...
let name = "Chris" let greeting = "Hi there, (name)" let finalGreeting = "(greeting). How are you?"
let name = "Chris"
let greeting = "Hi there, \(name)"
let finalGreeting = "\(greeting). How are you?"

Treehouse TeacherHi there! You're doing great, but the answer to your question is actually in your question. The challenge is asking you to concatenate... not interpolate. You've learned this already but let me show you an example as a refresher:
// concatenation
let hi = "Hi"
let hiThere = hi + " there!"
// interpolation
let hi = "Hi"
let hiTher = "\(hi) there!"
I feel like you can get it with this example, but let me know if you're still stuck!
Hope this helps!
