String Interpolation

This not working on treehouse:

// Enter your code below let firstValue = 4 let secondValue = 5 let product = firstValue * secondValue let output = "The product of" + " (firstValue) " + "and" + " (secondValue) " + "is" + " (product)"

types.swift 
// Enter your code below
let firstValue = 4
let secondValue = 5
let product = firstValue * secondValue
let output = "The product of" + " \(firstValue) " + "and" + " \(secondValue) " + "is" + " \(product)"

You're almost there. The main problem with the solution you've submitted is that it's combining string concatenation with string interpolation. The exercise just asks for a solution using string interpolation, so to get the code to pass, submit something like this:

// Enter your code below
let firstValue = 4
let secondValue = 5
let product = firstValue * secondValue
let output = "The product of \(firstValue) times \(secondValue) is \(product)."
