There is no need to interpolate every string. You only need to interpolate the name
constant to "Hi there, " (mind the space). Also your finalGreeting should concatenate to the greeting constant.
For example, it should look something like this:
let myName = "Michael"
let greeting = "What's up? \(myName)"
let final = greeting + "how ya' doin?"
Hope this helps!

In order to use a variable in string interpolation you must prefix it with a forward slash and then write the variable name in parenthesis. String are just typed out. Of course the entirety of it wrapped in double-quotes.
// Enter your code below
let name = "Pasan"
let greeting = "\("Hi there,") \(name)"
let finalGreeting = "\(greeting). \("How are you?")"
Should be
let name = "Pasan"
let greeting = "Hi there, \(name)"
let finalGreeting = "\(greeting). How are you?"
