I've been stuck on this for over ab hour after sailing through step one. Guidance would be much appreciated, I believe the wording of the question is what is confusing me.
let name = "James Harrison"
let greeting = "Hi there, "
let finalGreeting = greeting + name + "." + " How are you?"

Courses Plus Student 22,191 PointsThe challenge is looking for you to use both interpolation and concatenation.
The first part of the challenge was asking for the interpolation of the name
constant in the greeting constant. Since it looks like you got to the second part of the challenge you should have at some point had:
let name = "James Harrison"
let greeting = "Hi there, \(name)."
Without changing the above code, the second part of the challenge is asking you to concatenate the two string from the constant greeting
with the string " How are you?". You are already using concatenation in the example provided, correctly. Now you just have to drop everything except the greeting
constant and the " How are you?" string:
let finalGreeting = greeting + " How are you?"
