1,238 PointsNo clue how to approach a bug... :(
My code is as follows
let firstValue: Int = 2 let secondValue: Int = 4
let product: Int = firstValue * secondValue
let output: String = "The product of (firstValue) times (secondValue) is (product)."
I have no idea what goes wrong, so that I don't know where or what to fix... :(
// Enter your code below
let firstValue: Int = 2
let secondValue: Int = 4
let product: Int = firstValue * secondValue
let output: String = "The product of \(firstValue) times \(secondValue) is \(product)."

I gave this answer to another student that had the same question. The code you have is definitely correct, but I think what the instructor wants to emphasize is type inferencing (allowing the compiler to figure out the types). Here's what he wants:
// Enter your code below
let firstValue = 5
let secondValue = 7
let product = firstValue * secondValue
let output = "The product of \(firstValue) times \(secondValue) is \(product)"
Happy coding!

Treehouse TeacherKlaus,
That answer should definitely work! I found the bug in our challenge and fixed it.
