What am I doing incorrectly here with this task ?

I wrote the code in Xcode to have no errors. I have tried both string concatenation and string interpolation, but im getting an error saying to use an interpolated string.

Please help

strings.swift 
let name = "Pasan. How are you?"
let greeting = "Hi there"
let finalGreeting = "\(greeting), \(name)"

For your second constant, greeting, you are supposed to pass in the the value of 'name' using string interpolation, then use the greeting constant again in a new constant 'finalGreeting'.

let name = "Your name"
let greeting = "Hi there, \(name)."

let finalGreeting = greeting + " How are you?"
