I don't know my error: let finalGreeting = "\(greeting). How are you?"

I created the constant greeting, as a concatenation between a string and another constant.

My steps are: let name = "Myname" let greeting = "Hi there, (name)" -> let finalGreeting = "(greeting). How are you?"

strings.swift 
// Enter your code below

let name = "Milos"

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

let finalGreeting = "\(greeting). How are you?"

Hi!

Your solution to part one of the challenge is correct. Well done! This asks you to use string interpolation which you have done so correctly.

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

However, in the second part it asks you to use concatenation and you have used interpolation.

let finalGreeting = greeting + "." + "How are you?"

Almost there!

All the best,

Mitch
