I tried to solve this question but I really need help

let name= "Nader" let greeting = "Hi there" let finalValue = "(greeting), (name) "

strings.swift 
// Enter your code below
let name = "Nader"
let greeting = "Hi there"
let finalValue = "\(greeting), \(name)"

Concatenate the last part:

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

The error comes that we think that challenge is asking to concatenate the greetings and the final greetings, which they are not. Also, in the playground will be more flexible to do it, bacause we can assign the names we ant to, but in the website we should name the names literally because will find an error.

So, first, change current name "finalValue" to finalGreeting.

Second, just string together the finalGreeting with the concatenated value of greeting.

finalGreeting = greeting + ". How are you?"
