the first step i did, but i dont understand how they want for me to write the second step.
// Enter your code below
let firstValue = 10
let secondValue = 30

The issue is in your declaration for the constant output. Step 2 mentions the string that describes the operation should read: "The product of 10 times 30 is 300".
However, your current string for output is not using the product constant, and it reads: "10 * 30".
To complete this step, try to assign the correct string to the constant output:
let output = "The product of \(firstValue) times \(secondValue) is \(product)"
Hope this helps!

let output = "\(firstValue)*\(secondValue)" \\ "10*30"
To
let output ="\(firstValue*secondValue)" \\ "300"

Mr. Kujawski: I think (firstValue) and (secondValue) are Strings. So you are trying to multiply two Strings together which is illegal.
