I'm not too sure why this isn't working. I'm very new to Swift so, please help.
let firstValue = 10
let secondValue = 15
let product = firstValue * secondValue
let output = "The product of \(String(firstValue)) and \(String(secondValue)) is \(product)"
// Enter your code below

The goal is to always omit unnecessary words from your code unless it is necessary for readability. You just need to change 'and' to 'times'.
let output = "The product of \(firstValue) times \(secondValue) is \(product)"

let firstValue = 10
let secondValue = 15
let product = firstValue * secondValue
let output = "The product of \(String(firstValue)) times \(String(secondValue)) is \(product)"
