Why my code doesn't work?

let firstValue = 10 let secondValue = 12 let product = firstValue * secondValue let output = "The product of " + firstvalue + "times " + secondValue + "is " + product

types.swift 
// Enter your code below
let firstValue = 10
let secondValue = 12
let product = firstValue * secondValue
let output = "The product of " + firstvalue + "times " + secondValue + "is " + product

Hi Tim,

The challenge specified "Step 2: Using string interpolation" ... so perhaps try something like:

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

Best of luck,

Dave.
