Hi Vivek,

What you wrote works (although you're missing a period in between sentences in your finalGreeting), but what the challenge is looking for is string concatenation, not interpolation. In other words, concatenation means adding strings together just like how you would with two numbers, while interpolation is placing variables directly into the string.
