Swift 2.0 code challenge says I'm wrong. What is wrong?

let firstValue = 2016 let secondValue = 365 let product = "(firstValue) * (secondValue)" let output = "(firstValue) * (secondValue) * (product)"

This is my code.

types.swift
let firstValue = 2016
let secondValue = 365
let product = "\(firstValue) * \(secondValue)"
let output = "\(firstValue) * \(secondValue) * \(product)"

Hi Kevin,

you are almost there:


let firstValue = 10
let secondValue = 20

let product = firstValue * secondValue 

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

you are trying to multipli firstValue and SecondValue with in the string, that will not work

let product = "(firstValue) * (secondValue)" let output = "(firstValue) * (secondValue) * (product)"

It does not work. It says, " Bummer! Make sure you are assigning the value obtaining by multiplying firstValue and secondValue to product." What does this mean? Please help. All answers are good enough to try.

are you assigning firstValue * secoundValue to product?

         //like this
         let product = firstValue * secondValue
