381 PointsHow do I use a string literal in string interpolation when multiplying two constants titled firstValue and secondValue
This is a challenge task and I don't know what I am doing wrong when assigning the string literal to output
// Enter your code below
let firstValue = 5
let secondValue = 10
let product = firstValue * secondValue
let output = "The product of 5 times 10 is 50"

8,386 PointsYou need to make use of those first 3 constants in the "output" string. To do this, use string interpolation by enclosing each constant, called by name, with a leading backslash and parentheses:
// Enter your code below
let firstValue = 5
let secondValue = 10
let product = firstValue * secondValue
let output = "The product of \(firstValue) times \(secondValue) is \(product)"
