Declare a constant named finalGreeting, and concatenate the value of greeting with the string literal " How are you?".

As you see, instead of interpolation, you are asked to concatenate. This hints to make the new string like this:

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

let finalGreeting = greeting + " How are you?"
