Step 2: Using string interpolation, create a string literal that describes the operation we just performed. For example, given the following values for firstValue, secondValue and product respectively: 2, 4, 8. The string should read: "The product of 2 times 4 is 8". Assign this string to a constant named output.

types.swift
// Enter your code below

let firstValue = 2
let secondValue = 5

let product = firstValue * secondValue
let output: String = product

The problem is with your 'output'. You need to write out a sentence as a string literal and use interpolation within that string to call your other values.

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