Challenge Task 2 of 2
Given these two values we just declared, we want to compute the product and print out the product in a formatted string.
Step 1: Declare a constant named product and assign the result of multiplying firstValue and secondValue together. (To multiply two values, a and b, we write a * b).
Step 2: Using 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.
let firstValue = 2
let secondValue = 4
let product = firstValue * secondValue
let output = "The product of, \(firstValue) times \(secondValue) is \(product)"

You're really close, your code is not passing because you have a typo in your string. You just have to remove the comma after "The product of" and your code will pass.
// Enter your code below
let firstValue = 2
let secondValue = 4
let product = firstValue * secondValue
// Remove comma here
let output = "The product of \(firstValue) times \(secondValue) is \(product)"
Good Luck!
