Whats wrong with this? I'm getting the output that the question is asking for but its marking it wrong?

let firstValue = 2 let secondValue = 4 let product = firstValue * secondValue

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

types.swift 
// Enter your code 

let firstValue = 2
let secondValue = 4
let product = firstValue * secondValue

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

The assignment is just ultra specific. You're missing an "of" in your output string. 

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

not that IRL the "of" means anything in terms of the code. The auto grading is just super specific.

Damn thanks Ian. I get so caught up in learning the code I forget how to speak.
