Courses Plus Student 701 PointsA couple of issues
Firstly, my console output isnt working, I am running Xcode 7.1, i go to view > assistant editor > show assistant editor and the extra assistant pane appears but the console output like seen in the video tutorials when a println statement is written does not appear. And secondly, println() isn't working anymore, Xcode advises me to just use print(). When I write println() the an error occurs that instructs me to replace 'println' to 'print'.

796 PointsHi Keith.
I was recently stumped by this too. The answer is simple though, whilst Amit has made and recorded these lessons using Xcode 6 (or previous, I'm not able to tell, personally) - as you and I are using Xcode 7 there are two major differences I've seen between what we're told and what we experience.
1) println() is no longer valid to use for a new line. Xcode 7 operates print() to automatically put a new line in, and instead you have tell print() when you DON'T want to have a line break, using print(//string etc here// , appendNewLine: False)
2) The console output now lives within the debug area, rather than the assistant editor from what I can tell. To access this (and see your output as Amit does in his tutorials), press "Shift + Command + Y". You can also access it via View -> Debug Area -> Show Debug Area.
Hope this helps!
