Hey Abhash,

There are a few issues happening here:

  1. For the let product line, you haven't declared any variable called a or b. This line, you should be using the variables that you declared in Task one -- firstValue and secondValue.

  2. There needs to be a space between the = sign and the opening quotes for the interpolated string.

  3. The interpolated string is not formatted correctly. I do highly recommend that you re-watch the String Interpolation video to review the proper formatting. There should be only one opening quotation mark and one closing quotation mark (You have 8). Only the variables are put inside the interpolation syntax \(). The actual hard coded strings are just as normal strings.

  4. The instructions are always very specific and very picky. So the first word in the string the needs to be capitalized to The.

I've provided the corrected code, but I very much recommend that you review this course before moving on, as variables and sting interpolation and string concatenation is very important in the future videos. Just make sure you have a strong understanding of "Types" before moving on to "Operators". 

let firstValue = 4
let secondValue = 6

let product = firstValue * secondValue

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

Keep Coding! :dizzy:
