let product = firstValue * secondValue
let value = "The product of"
let mutliplying = "times"

57,712 PointsHi there,
I formatted your code block so it is clearer.
Your code has a few issues with it. Firstly, it is far too complicated - there's no need to create a value to interpolate every item in the output string. You just need to interpolate the numeric values. However, your code will work with some corrections.
Firstly, terminate the string - you haven't closed the inverted commas. Secondly, spell multiplying consistently in the two places you use it.
That's it - your code will work fine. But the challenge is expecting this:
let firstValue = 4
let secondValue = 9
let product = firstValue * secondValue
let output = "The product of \(firstValue) times \(secondValue) is \(product)"
I hope that helps,
Steve.

Courses Plus Student 15,510 PointsPlease format that in such a way that it is human readable.
I mean I want to help here, but other than the first part of your sentence, the rest is jibberish. I find it highly unlikely that team treehouse phrased their instructions in such a way.
I'll follow the thread so if you update it, I might be able to offer some help.
Best of luck otherwise,
Dave.
