let product = "firstValue * secondValue" // This is a string!

// It needs to be...

let product = firstValue * secondValue

In addition to the problem that aidenmitchell has pointed out you also have an issue in your last line of code with regard to the task instructions. Namely that your string does not match the structure of the example string the instructions provide to the letter.

The example string is "The product of 2 times 4 is 8" notice the use of "is" rather than an equal sign which is what you are using in your string.

The complete answer to this challenge looks like this:

// Task 1
let firstValue: Int = 2002
let secondValue: Int = 2003

// Task 2
let product = firstValue * secondValue
let output = "The product of \(firstValue) times \(secondValue) is \(product)"

Also please try to not create so many duplicate posts, especially without checking if the previous post has already been answered. This is in fact the second time I have posted this code for you, as I already left an answer on your previous post.

Hi andren

I moved your response to the Answers (for up-voting). I also deleted the duplicate threads for this question, unfortunately, this also included the first response you provided. Apologies. :)

Thank you for all your participation in the Community. :thumbsup:

Don't worry about that, my first response was nothing ground breaking anyway :smile:.

I originally posted my response as a comment due to the fact that I was mostly just repeating the answer I already provided in the other thread, so it felt strange to leave it as an answer again. With that thread deleted it makes sense to have it as an answer.

And thank you for your active role in moderating this forum :+1:. I always appreciated the cleanup and assistance you provide.
