I need Help with String Interpolation

Now that we have an appropriate greeting for our user, let's make a bit more polite by concatenating the greeting string with a second string literal.

Declare a constant named finalGreeting, and concatenate the value of greeting with the string literal " How are you?".

Example: "Hi there, Pasan. How are you?"

strings.swift 
// Enter your code below

let name = "Seth"
let greeting = "How are you"

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

The second challenge actually wanted you to use concatenation instead of interpolation. Concatenation is when you add two strings together:

let name = "Billy"
let greeting = "Hi there, \(name)"
let finalGreeting = greeting + "How are you?"
