I copied this to XCode. It shows no errors, it compiles perfectly.
// Enter your code below
let name = "Andre"
let greeting = "Hi There, \(name)"
let finalGreeting = "\(greeting). How are you?"

. Concatenation is basically adding strings together. Here's a couple examples:
"Hello" + "World" // Evaluates to "HelloWorld"
"Hi " + "There" // Evaluates to "Hi There"
So, the challenge is asking you to concatenate the name
variable and the string ". How are you?"
together and store that in a constant called finalGreeting
.
I hope this helps
Happy coding!
