make sure the sting literal you are creating is assigned to a constant called output ! what am i doing wrong??

my code:

let firstValue  = 50
let secondValue = 100
let product = firstValue * secondValue

let interpolatedoutput = "\(The product of) \(50) \(times) \(100) \(is) \(5000)"

Not sure what the full question is, but seeing from your code, you are not assigning the the string literal to a constant called output. Also, I am guessing your string interpolation is not correct.

// Your code:
let firstValue = 50
let secondValue = 100
let product = firstValue * secondValue

let interpolatedoutput = "(The product of )(50)(times)(100)(is)(5000)"

//Perhaps you should try:

let firstValue = 50
let secondValue = 100
let product = firstValue * secondValue

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

You don't have to put everything in a bracket. You should only place those value that you want to interpolate as part of the string in the bracket. And before the bracket, you should put the backslash symbol.

Hope that helps!

Hey Jason:

I did some fixing on your answer so that It can display the code. Your answer still the same.

You can read the markdown cheatsheet, or you can edit your answer and see how I did it.

Good luck
