stuck at challenge : code could not be compiled

Hi Raphael,

There are two things that are a bit off here. One is in regards to this line (String interpolation):

let output = "\(The product of) \(2) \(times ) \(4 ) \(is ) \(8 )"

Using \(The product of) means that you're using the value of a variable called 'The product of', and that causes the compiler to complain. What you really want is this:

let output = "The product of \(2) times \(4) is \(8)"

Now the compiler knows that "The product of", "times", and "is" are strings.

Another minor thing that should be edited would be this line:

let product = 2 * 4

This is definitely going to be the correct answer, but what you want to get use to is using variables/constants. The code below will guide you through that

// you assigned these 2 constants values
let firstValue =  2
let secondValue =  4

// you can use them like this
                //2        *      4
let product = firstValue * secondValue

Hope I've helped! Happy coding :)

EDIT: 10.26.15

The challenge has been fixed, and you can now have your solution like this:

// Enter your code below
let firstValue: Int = 10
let secondValue: Int = 5
let product: Int = firstValue * secondValue
let output: String = "The product of \(firstValue) times \(secondValue) is \(product)"
