First of all, you do not need to put static parts of the string in \(), that's the neat thing about Swift string interpolation. Only variables or dynamic things need to be put inside \(). Having said that, what you did basically comes down to the same thing, only a bit hard to read. So the issue here is that your output misses spaces in between the variables.

So this should work:

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

Hope that helps :)
