662 PointsHow do I create an interpolated string inside a literal string if the compiler is not permitting a backslash?
The compiler is showing a source code error and saying that the backslash is not allowed.
// Enter your code below
let firstValue = 7
let secondValue = 5
let product = \(firstValue) * \(secondValue)
let output = "The product of \(firstValue) times \(secondValue) is \(product)"

iOS Development with Swift Techdegree Graduate 12,055 PointsYou don't have to use "\" to perform the multiplication . This is what you should be doing:
let firstValue = 7
let secondValue = 5
let product = firstValue * secondValue
let output = "The product of \(firstValue) times \(secondValue) is \(product)"
