Courses Plus Student 192 PointsI'm stuck here
I can't declare an interpolated string to be at the end " the product of 2 times 4 is 8 " firstValue = 2 secondValue = 4 product = 8
// Enter your code below
let firstValue : Int = 2
let secondValue : Int = 4
let product : firstValue * secondValue = 8
let firstly = "the product of"
let output = "\(firstly), \(firstValue) * (secondValue) \(product)"

There are a few small mistakes in your code.. let's fix them.
On the "product" constant, you are not declaring anything there. The syntax is incorrect.
/// Lets do something like this
let product: Int = firstValue * secondValue
Remember, that when you do a declaration, you do not need to explicitly show the type you are declaring, the system will infer it for you, unless its ambiguous and it must be declared.
/// Instead you can do something like this
let product = firstValue * secondValue
Now, your output should look exactly as the requirement asks you.. including spelling, otherwise the system will not accept the answer.
/// Output with string interpolation
let output = "The product of \(firstValue) times \(secondValue) is \(product)"
I hope this helps you solve your problem.
Good luck

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