How do you assign a string to a label? I have the labelled called quoteLabel and have used the below code
quoteLabel.text = "A stitch in time saves nine"
But it doesn't work
class viewController: UIViewController {
@IBOutlet weak var quoteLabel: UILabel!
@IBAction func quoteButtonPressed() {
quoteLabel.text = A stitch in time saves nine
}
}
