How do I complete Challenge Task 2 of 2 for Swift 3 Basics? The instructions are confusing to me? Thank you.

I feel like I'm doing the correct coding but the video examples don't seem to work with the task.

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

let finalGreeting = greeting

I do realize that the last constant is wrong, but I don't see how it should be according to the instructions.

The greeting constant should only contain "Hi there, (name)" It is asking you to add "How are you?" in the last constant by using the addition operator. So it goes like this:

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

let finalGreeting = greeting + " How are you?"
