You need to create two integer variables. Get their product, then output a string such as "Number 1 x Number 2 = answer". Make sure to declare your variables properly.

let value1: Int = 10
let value2: Int = 20
let product: Int = value1 * value2
let output: String = "\(value1) x \(value2) = \(product)"

The product constant stores an integer value, not a string.

let firstValue = 4
let secondValue = 5

let product = firstValue * secondValue

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