Courses Plus Student 3,171 PointsI'm having difficulty creating an interpolated string to express the final equation requested.
I've tried a few ways to put this together but can't seem to get past it.
// Enter your code below
let firstValue: Int = 249
let secondValue: Int = 349
let product = firstValue * secondValue
let output = "\(firstValue) * \(secondValue) \(product)"

Treehouse TeacherHi there! You're doing fine and your code is functional. However, it's not producing the exact string they're asking for in the last line of the instructions. Your code is producing the string "249 * 349 86901". They want the string to be "The product of 249 times 349 is 86901." Take a look at the output line needed:
let output = "The product of \(firstValue) times \(secondValue) is \(product)"
Note: when doing challenges that require a string to be returned or printed always double check for punctuation, spacing, and wording. If the challenge is failing and you believe it to be correct, chances are you've missed something in the string.
Hope this helps!

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