There is nothing wrong but it is saying its wrong.

I do not see anything wrong with my code but treehouse says its wrong i copied and pasted it onto Xcode and it runs fine on xCode

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)"

Haha sorry for whatever reason when I posted the answer it deleted the backslash here is the correct code

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

When I post this for some reason all the back slashes will be deleted. Please have a backslash before every () and that should be the correct answer

Don't have () around The product of and around times and around is. I think that will let it pass. Having () around everything in strings looks choppy and unorganized which is why the grader is counting it wrong even though technically it is correct. I hope this helps good luck with your classes!

// Enter your code below let firstValue = 2 let secondValue = 4

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

sure here, like you said i took out the (), around the strings
