string interpolation

there needs to be some type of hint. if the code is not exactly correct it wont let you proceed. I dont know exactly what they want here, ive tried to run 3 or 4 different ways and its not telling me exactly whats wrong. My code works just fine on xcode but not here.

Is this really worth $50 a month?

types.swift 
// Enter your code below
let firstValue: Int = 2
let secondValue: Int = 4
let product = firstValue * secondValue
let output = "The product of \(firstValue) times \(secondValue), is \(product)"

The comma in the constant "output" is the culprit. These code challenges really need you to follow direction to a T. It might as well do a string compare from your code snippet result to the correct answer.
