Challenge Task 2 of 2

Given these two values we just declared, we want to compute the product and print out the product in a formatted string.

Step 1: Declare a constant named product and assign the result of multiplying firstValue and secondValue together. (To multiply two values, a and b, we write a * b).

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.

// Enter your code below

let firstValue = 1 let secondValue = 3

let product = result a * b let a = 2 let b = 4

Bummer make sure the string literal you creating is assigned to a constante called output? Why?

a few things:

  • after you declare let product you don't need the word result.
  • you wrote a * b, but those variable names were just what they were using as an example, you need to use your actual variable names: firstValue and SecondValue
  • it's asking you to create another constant called "output" and put into that a string using the other values - you need to use string interpolation. It all should look like this:
let firstValue = 1 
let secondValue = 3

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

I can not digest what he asks the second question Challege 2 of 2 i try but hard

Thanks for reading my code Brendan
