Courses Plus Student 584 PointsHi there .... i might need some help here solving this quiz .... Thanks for your COOP and support.
let firstValue: Int = 656 let secondValue: Int = 565 let Value = firstValue + secondValue /* Second task*/ let product: Int = firstValue * secondValue let output = "The product of (firstValue) multiply by (secondValue) is (product)"
Trying to compile the above example but the compiler is giving me an error that i'm not meeting the required inquiry within the question .... would appreciate some help here.
Thanks
// Enter your code below
let firstValue: Int = 656
let secondValue: Int = 565
let Value = firstValue + secondValue
/* Second task*/
let product: Int = firstValue * secondValue
let output = "The product of \(firstValue) multiply by \(secondValue) is \(product)"

The issue in this case is that the string they are looking for is:
"The product of \(firstValue) times \(secondValue) is \(product)"
And the string you produce is:
"The product of \(firstValue) multiply by \(secondValue) is \(product)"
Notice that they use the word times between the firstValue and secondValue not multiply by like you do. If you change your string so that it looks identical to the one in my first example then your code will pass.
