It is asking me if I did concatenate.
// Enter your code below
let name = "Yoshi"
let greeting = "Hi there, \(name)"
let finalGreeting = "\(greeting). How are you?"

Treehouse TeacherHi there! You're doing great and in fact, your code would have the same end result as the code it's looking for. The point here is that they want to make sure that you can use multiple methods to achieve the same results. It's always a great thing to have more than one tool in your toolbelt!
It's asking you if you used concatenation, because you didn't. Remember interpolation is the using of the backslash and parentheses to insert the value of a variable at that point. Concatenation requires the use of a + sign to squish two strings together. Let's take a look at an example:
let name = "Tom"
let myName = "Jennifer"
let finalGreeting = "Hi, " + name + "! My name is " + myName
If we were to then print out the value of finalGreeting we'd get "Hi, Tom! My name is Jennifer"
Hope this helps clarify things, but let me know if you're still stuck!
