in your greeting, hi there is a string literal, not a variable, so it doesn't go in () and you don't need to preface it with a slash. you have name right, but it's in another string. combine with the first part after hi there into one string.

let name = "Jeff"
let greeting = "Hi there, \(name)"

let finalGreeting = greeting + " How are you?"
