I'm a little bit confused as to how to complete step two using String Interpolation

Any help on understanding this better would be greatly appreciated.

types.swift 
let firstValue: Int = 20
let secondValue: Int = 40

let product = "firstValue * secondValue

let output

String interpolation allows you to perform an expression and have its result pasted right into the string in the spot you want it. It's done with the \() syntax inside the string itself. For example:

let num = "\(2 + 2)"
//num is now equal to "4"
