The error you receive is: Bummer: The format of your output string doesn't match the requirements listed. Double check the example given in the directions!

Your output should look like this:

The product of 2 times 4 is 8

What you have is this:

the product of  2 times 4 is 8

Things to fix:

1) Capitalize the T in The

2) Remove the extra space (there are two) before \(firstValue)

3) Remove the trailing space after \(product)
