// Enter your code below
let firstValue = 3
let secondValue = 7

Treehouse TeacherHi there! You're either going to love or hate this answer, but you're doing great! Challenges can be extremely strict especially when looking at strings. Generally speaking, they have to match to the letter. This includes spelling, punctuation, capitalization, and even spacing. The reason your code isn't passing is because you have an extra space. Seriously. That's the only thing "incorrect".
You have one too many spaces between the interpolation of secondValue and the word "is". Remove one space there, and your code passes with flying colors!
