Can someone help me please, i an stuck on this question.
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.
what i have so far… i think things but i just don't know.
let firstValue = 22 let secondValue = 23 let product = firstValue * secondValue let output = The product of 22 * 23 is 506
// Enter your code below

Treehouse TeacherYou were doing really well until it got to the output part! I've previously answered this question here. Take a look and see if it doesn't help clarify things a bit! https://teamtreehouse.com/community/what-does-it-mean-when-it-is-asking-to-make-a-string-literal

123 PointsAfter clicking on the link i get a clear understanding on what i need to do and what its suppose to look like, when i go through the lesson they talk about certain parts of what you need to do but sometimes in the challenge questions they leave you a few steps away from understanding what they are asking of you.
