I don't get how you get this string "The product of 2 times 4 is 8". Assign this string to a constant named output.

I don't get how you get this string to read "The product of 2 times 4 is 8". Assign this string to a constant named output. It works fine in xcode, but I'm not passing the challenge.

types.swift 
let firstValue: Int = 2
let secondValue: Int = 4
let product = firstValue * secondValue
let output: String = "The product of \(firstValue) times \(secondValue) is \(product)"

Hi Anthony,

I don't see anything wrong with your code and your code snippet was accepted in the code challenge when I tried it.

let firstValue: Int = 2
let secondValue: Int = 4
let product = firstValue * secondValue
let output: String = "The product of \(firstValue) times \(secondValue) is \(product)"

I hope that helps,

Mike

PS: Thanks to the awesome resources on Team Treehouse, I launched my first app.

I tried my code again, and it passed instantaneously. I don't know what happened before. I swear at times there are characters we don't see. Sounds crazy, doesn't it?

Congratulations with your iPhone app! May I ask the name? I would love to produce a couple of apps myself, but no specific plans.

If you would like, my email is anthonyarnold77@gmail.com I would enjoy corresponding with an app developer especially for some pointers,.
