Now that we have an appropriate greeting for our user, let's make a bit more polite by concatenating the greeting string with a second string literal.
Declare a constant named finalGreeting, and concatenate the value of greeting with the string literal " How are you?".
Example: "Hi there, Pasan. How are you?"
// Enter your code below
let name = "Seth Mitchell"
let finalGreeting = "How are you?"
let greeting = "Hi there, \(name) \(finalGreeting)"

10,354 PointsHi there, there's two small mistakes here. The first one is from the first part where its asks you to use string interpolation. It asks you first you name to the constant name which you did. And, then, it asks you to use String interpolation so your message looks like this "Hi there, Alex" ( I used my name there).
So in code this should look something like this:
let name = "Alex"
let greeting = "Hi there, \(name)"
For the second part it asks you to create a third constant named finalGreeting and use concatenation. For concatenating Strings we use '+' operator. Since, we already have the first part of the greeting "Hi there, Alex"; we can than simply add the ". How are you?" using string concatenation.
So for the second part it should look something like this:
let name = "Alex"
let greeting = "Hi there, \(name)"
let finalGreeting = greeting + ". How are you?"
Hope this helps!
