Swift Basics: Recap Swift Types

I am stumped on the code challenge! I am on : Challenge Task 2 0f 2 and am stumped on Step 2. I a doing exactly what they say but I am confused on the syntax that I am using I just can't seem to get it right

types.swift 
// Enter your code below

let firstValue = 2
let secondValue = 4
let product = firstValue * secondValue
let output = ""The product of" \(firstValue), "times" \(secondValue), "is" \(product)"

Hi Jason,

That's not how you do string interpolation! I recommend re-watching this video about it from Swift 2 basics.

You just need to get rid of some quotation marks:

correctInterpolation.swift 
// Enter your code below
let firstValue = 2
let secondValue = 4
let product = firstValue * secondValue
let output = "The product of \(firstValue) times \(secondValue) is \(product)"

You're right - I left in commas that Jason had in his original answer, and it looks like the challenge itself doesn't want commas. I've updated my answer. Thanks :)
