We're told to create a constant called output. Since you've already made three constants, you know how to do that, so that's a good start!
The challenge asks us to make the output constant's value equal to a string containing something similar to 'The product of 2 times 4 is 8'--but instead of using those numbers, we need to use the constants that we just declared and initialized. We can print out the values of those constants through a process called interpolation, using the () syntax. Inside of the parentheses we would put the name of the particular variable/constant/etc.:
let output = "The product of \(firstValue) times \(secondValue) is \(product)"
Thus, given our constants' values, printing this out would produce "The product of 4 times 6 is 24."
Hope this helps!
