let firstValue = 2 let secondValue = 3 let product = 2 * 3 let output = 6 let interpolatedOutput = "(firstValue) * (secondValue) = (product)”
// Enter your code below
let firstValue: Int = 2
let secondValue: Int = 3

You are very close. It looks like you have missed the \ (backslash) from the code when interpolating strings. Your code should look like this:
// Enter your code below
let firstValue = 2 let secondValue = 3 let product = firstValue * secondValue
let output = "The product of (firstValue) times (secondValue) is (product)"
Hope this helps? :)
