I'm stuck again...

I'm not sure what I am suppose to do here. I see what the example is suppose to look like, but I'm not sure how I can find the right answer to this program..

strings.swift 
// Enter your code below
let name = "Nathan"
let greeting = "Hi there, \(name)"
let finalGreeting = "greeting + \(name) + \(How are you?)

Hi

It looks like your almost there. The challenge asks for you to concatenate the value of the constant greeting to the string of 'How are you'

so it would be something like:

let finalGreeting = "\(your constant) How are you?"

because you have already captured the name in the greeting constant there is no need to add the (name) to the concatenation.

Hope that helps
