How do I get this interpolated string correct? I do not follow this example very well.

thanks.

types.swift 
// Enter your code below
let firstValue: Int = 2
let secondValue: Int = 4
let product = (firstValue * secondValue)

Luke, you will need to use the following code: 

let output = "The product of \(firstValue) times \(secondValue) is \(product)"

Here, we create a constant "output," and interpolate the values and the product into the string using the syntax: (variableName).

If you have any questions, feel free to ask!
