What mistake did I make?

let firstValue: Int = 2 let secondValue: Int = 5

let product: String = firstValue * secondValue let output: String = "(2), (5), (8)"

types.swift 
// Enter your code below
let firstValue: Int = 2
let secondValue: Int = 5 

let product: String = firstValue * secondValue
let output: String = "\(2), \(5), \(8)"

First, you tried setting product as a String when you were multiplying two Ints. Next, your output was not what they wanted (A sentence they provided), and you were trying to pass Ints and not the variable names.

// Enter your code below
let firstValue: Int = 2
let secondValue: Int = 5 

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