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.
I need some assistance, please.
// Enter your code below
let firstValue: Int = 25
let secondValue: Int = 5
let product = firstValue * secondValue
let output = "The product of \(firstValue) times \(secondValue) is \(product)"
