I don't get step two in this ?

Am I not getting the code right, or am I not understanding the task ?

types.swift 
// Enter your code below

let firstValue = 10
let secondValue = 5
let product = 50
let output = "\(firstValue) * \(secondValue) = \(product)"

Hey Mathias,

It seems that the string does not match in your solution. The challenge requires you to have the constant output in a format like this:

"The product of 2 times 4 is 8"

Current, your output using the numbers above would be this:

2 * 4 = 8

In order to fix your solution, check this out:

let firstValue = 10
let secondValue = 5

let product = firstValue * secondValue   // try to get into the habit of using the constants that you've declare and have them do the thinking
let output = "The product of \(firstValue) times \(secondValue) is \(product)"

Happy coding! Good luck :)
