swift types

I also tried this type. what is my mistake?

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

It's not your fault. Your way is totally valid, it just wants it in a certain way. I made a couple adjustments to your code and it passed: 1) don't explicitly declare the type 2) Take out the extra spaces at the beginning and end of your output string

So it looks like this:

// Enter your code below

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