Am I incorrectly using string interpolation?

It seems like this is a reasonable solution to solve this challenge(I know the Treehouse editor is picky), but what am I reading wrong in the problem in order to get it wrong? Thanks!

types.swift 
let firstValue: Int = 93
let secondValue: Int = 157
let product: Int = firstValue * secondValue
let output: String = "The product of \(firstValue) times \(secondValue) is \(product)."

You are doing it just fine, it's just that the challenge wants something really specific and picky.

1) Don't explicitly declare type.

2) Don't put a period on the sentence. 

let firstValue = 93
let secondValue = 157
let product = firstValue * secondValue
let output = "The product of \(firstValue) times \(secondValue) is \(product)"
