iOS Development Techdegree Student 465 Pointsappend value to the results array
Sorry guys, but it seems really difficult, or I am a complete noob.. ((( I've tried multiple combinations, but I do not understand how to append the values to the results array. It seems that "multiplier" is a string and just cannot be added. Should I add the values one by one? Then what is the sense of doing all these multiplications... Thank you
// Enter your code below
var results: [Int] = []
for multiplier in 1...10{
print("\(multiplier) * 6 is \(multiplier * 6)")
}
results.append("multiplier")

No worries, everything seems difficult when starting out. You're close but what you need to do here is call the append method inside of your loop. Let's take a look at the code:
// Enter your code below
var results: [Int] = []
for multiplier in 1...10 {
results.append(multiplier)
}
Here we have a for loop where we are iterating over a range of Int values 1 to 10. For each value in the iteration, we will assign a value to the constant named multiplier. Inside of the loop's body, we can now call the append method on the results array and pass it the value stored in multiplier.
Good Luck

iOS Development Techdegree Student 465 PointsMuch appreciate, Steven. However now I get the following error: "Make sure the results array contains the first 10 multiples of 6" . Here is my code, can you please take a look on it and tell me what I am doing wrong?, sorry for disturbing you and thanks:
// Enter your code below var results: [Int] = []
for multiplier in 1...10{ results.append(multiplier) print("(multiplier) * 6 is (multiplier * 6)")
}

21,046 PointsNot a problem Eugene,
Sorry, I don't have access to this challenge so I was unaware of what the question was fully asking.
The challenge wants the first 10 multiples of 6 to be stored in the results array. This means we need to multiply our multiplier value by 6 each time before appending the resulting value to the results array:
// Enter your code below
var results: [Int] = []
for multiplier in 1...10 {
results.append(multiplier * 6)
}
Hope this helps

iOS Development Techdegree Student 465 PointsI cannot believe that it was sooo simple ;) Thank you once again.

21,046 PointsYou also may want to take a look at the type of the results variable, it's an array of Integers or [Int]. To append something to the array it needs to be the same type that the array stores.
Hope this clarifies somethings
