The challenge task was, Using these values, we want to compute the product and print out the product in a formatted string.
Step 1: Declare a constant named product and assign the result of multiplying firstValue and secondValue together. (To multiply two values, a and b, we write a * b).
Step 2: Using string interpolation, create a string literal that describes the operation we just performed. For example, given the following values for firstValue, secondValue and product respectively: 2, 4, 8. The string should read: "The product of 2 times 4 is 8". Assign this string to a constant named output.
// Enter your code below
let firstValue = 5
let secondValue = 10
let product = 5 * 10
let output = "\(The product of 5 times 10 is 50)"

let firstValue = 6
let secondValue = 7
let product = firstValue * secondValue
let output = "The product of \(firstValue) times \(secondValue) is \(product)"
