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

There's a glitch. This generates an error about the name of the constant (should be "product") but if I change the constant name to product i get an error to say it should be "output". Please fix

types.swift 
// Enter your code below
let firstValue: Int = 12
let secondValue: Int = 14
let output: String = "The product of \(firstValue) times \(secondValue) is \(firstValue*secondValue)"

Hey Chris,

I tried out your solution, and I get an error stating the following:

Make sure you're assigning the results of the multiplication operation to a constant named product

This might fix your problem:

// Enter your code below
let firstValue: Int = 12
let secondValue: Int = 14

let product: Int = firstValue*secondValue // Assigning the value to a constant named product
let output: String = "The product of \(firstValue) times \(secondValue) is \(product)" // Using it in string interpolation

Let me know if there are any additional questions.

- Rich
