Hi Meitav,

There is nothing syntactically wrong with the code, it is just not what the instructions are asking for. Task #1 you did correctly as the instructions wanted the string created using interpolation. However, Task #2 explicitly says to

concatenate the value of greeting . . .

But you are using interpolation again. Just change your code to reflect this and create the finalGreeting string using concatenation instead and you're good to go.

Keep Coding! :dizzy: :)
