Step 2 of the second task is to use 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.

You need to just add this to the bottom of your code and you should be set! Let me know if you still have questions about it!

// Enter your code below

let firstValue = 5
let secondValue = 8

let product = firstValue * secondValue

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

String interpolation is an important skill to learn in just about any language... they all have slightly different ways of doing it, but they all do it - and it's important! Keep plugging along!
