// Enter your code below

let firstValue: Int = 2

let secondValue: Int = 2

let product = "

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

This is my new code but it still does not work

let firstValue = 1 let secondValue = 2

let product = "2"

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

This is the question Challenge Task 2 of 2

Given these two values we just declared, we want to compute the product and print out the product in a formatted string.

Step 1: Declare a constant named product and assign the result of multiplying firstValue and secondValue together. (To multiply two values, a and b, we write a * b).

Step 2: Using string interpolation, create a string literal that describes the operation we just performed. For example, given the following values for firstValue, secondValue and product respectively: 2, 4, 8. The string should read: "The product of 2 times 4 is 8". Assign this string to a constant named output.

The values are 2 and 1

Hi Kehinde,

You are on the right track, but the challenge doesn't want you to hard-code the answer into the constant product. So, instead of let product = 4, you want let product = firstValue * secondValue

The rest of your code is correct.

Keep Coding! :)
