"7 times table"

I keep getting an error that my code is incorrect, and i'm pretty sure it's not. The resulting output should be:

1 * 7 = 7 2 * 7 = 14 etc all the way to 10.

Here is my code:

for number in 1...10 {
  println("\(number) * 7 = \(number*7)\n")
}

I even finally just pasted the code into Xcode and it printed the result I'm supposed to get. Am I missing something here?

Everything looks fine, just get rid of the newline character. Println already goes down to the next line, after it finishes it's execution. What you're doing is equivalent to pressing enter twice at the end of a sentence.

Yep that did it, thanks!

The quiz said "each line should be on a new line" and I guess I just instinctively thought to make sure I add it then, taking it from C's printf. Just going back now and looking at the output in Xcode I guess I should have noticed the double spacing between the results as a clue. :)
