181 PointsHow do you create a string literal that describes the operation?
I have no idea what to do I have tried everything I can. I feel the code so have I have is right. It could be completely wrong tho. I'm trying everything I can and I feel like I'm getting nowhere. Any help would be appreciated.
// Enter your code below
let firstValue = 10
let secondValue = 20
let product = firstValue * secondValue
let someString =
let output =

22,159 PointsYou were almost there.
A string literal just means you are creating the string. So when you are saying something like:
let myName = "John"
The let is saying create a constant, the name is saying to name the constant myName, the = is saying assign what follows to what precedes, and the "John" is the string literal. That means it is a string that you are literally defining.
So your code would look like this following the second task in the challenge.
let firstValue = 10
let secondValue = 20
let product = firstValue * secondValue
let output = "The product of \(firstValue) times \(secondValue) is \(product)."
