I've got to be honest here. I'm not sure where you're getting the # from in regards to string interpolation. Here's my end code and I'll go through it step by step.

// Enter your code below
let firstValue = 2
let secondValue = 7

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

Created firstValue and assigned it a value of 2

Created secondValue and assigned it a value of 7

Created a product and assigned it the value of the result of 2 times 7

Created an output string using string interpolation to read: "The product of 2 times 7 is 14." when run
