HELP!!! I'm not sure how to do this last part!

Need help on Step 2

types.swift 
let firstValue = 2
let secondValue = 4
let product = firstValue * secondValue
let output =

Step 1: Declare a constant named product and assign the result of multiplying firstValue and secondValue together. (To multiply two values, a and b, we write a * b).

Step 2: Using string interpolation, create a string literal that describes the operation we just performed. For example, given the following values for firstValue, secondValue and product respectively: 2, 4, 8. The string should read: "The product of 2 times 4 is 8". Assign this string to a constant named output.

All the second part is asking you to do is create a constant whose value is a string that reads "The value of 2 times 4 is 8." Using string interpolation for these three integers, firstValue, secondValue, and product, respectively.

let firstValue = 2
let secondValue = 4

let product = firstValue * secondValue

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