How to assign the String "The product of (firstValue) and (secondValue) is (product)" to a constatnt name output?

let firstValue: Int = 3 let secondValue: Int = 5

let product: Int = 15 let interpolatedProduct: = "The product of (firstValue) times (secondValue) is (product)" let output: String = interpolatedProduct

types.swift 
// Enter your code below
let firstValue: Int = 3
let secondValue: Int = 5

let product: Int = 15
let interpolatedProduct: = "The product of \(firstValue) times \(secondValue) is \(product)"
let output: String = interpolatedProduct

You're close, but there's a couple errors. You got the string interpolation part correct, which was the focus of the challenge. You however forgot to set the type; since you used the colon you must set it. If you don't want to explicitly set the type you don't need the colon. You also don't need to have the constant interpolatedProduct, just create the output constant that the challenge was asking for.

let firstValue: Int = 2
let secondValue: Int = 3
let product: Int = firstValue * secondValue

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

Also, it kind of defeats the purpose of having product if you're going to do the math yourself :wink:
