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

8,536 PointsThere's just one problem with your code. In finalGreeting, you encased the variable greeting within the double quotes, meaning that the computer doesn't know that it should replace greeting with the value of the variable greeting.
It's really easy to fix this:
let finalGreeting = greeting + " How are you?"
