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?"
my code. let name = " Veasna Mam" let greeting = "Hi there, (name)." let finalGreeting = greeting + "Hi there, Linda. How are you?
// Enter your code below
let name = " Veasna Mam"
let greeting = "Hi there, \(name)."
let finalGreeting = greeting + "Hi there, Linda. How are you?

// Enter your code below
let name = " Veasna Mam"
let greeting = "Hi there, \(name)."
Is that you created two strings, creating the greeting variable by using string interpolation with the name variable (the '(name)' part)
Now, you want to apply the same concept when creating the finalGreeting variable. Just for one point before I go on, I noticed that you didn't close out your string quotation marks. I don't know if this was because of a copy pasting issue or what not, but just always be aware of that when writing code and also asking questions (because then it could lead to someone brushing off your question by saying you missed a quotation and not reading the rest of your code).
Anyway, the approach you should take is with String Interpolation again, as follows:
let finalGreeting = "\(greeting) How are you?"

let name = "Russell Atkins" let greeting = "Hi There, (name)." let finalGreeting = "(greeting) How are you?"

3,921 PointsNever mind I figured it out - it needs to be greeting + "How are you?"

15,916 PointsYes, it can be done that way. Or it could also be done let finalGreeting = "(greeting) How are you?"
You were missing the "\" before the (greeting) and (name)
