Hello Lia :

To be able to add an item to an array there are a few ways.

// Empty array
var someArray: String = []

// Using the append method, this will only allow you to add one item at a time.
someArray.append("Item")

//  Using the addition assignment operator. 
// This way, you can add more than one item.

someArray += ["Item", "Item2"]

Good luck
