Build a weather app NSString error in Swift

I get error in Swift course Build A Weather App - the bit where I am retrieving the data from the URL location.

What the course says to use:-

var urlContents = NSString.stringWithContentsOfURL
(location, encoding: NSUTF8StringEncoding, error: nil)

gets 2 errors;-

'Could not find an overload for "stringWithContentsOfURL" that accepts the supplied arguments

"Cannot convert the expressions type '(NSURL)', encoding: UInt, error: NilLiteralConvertible)' to type 'NilLiteralConvertible'

tried this;

var urlContents = NSString(location, encoding: NSUTF8StringEncoding, error: NilLiteralConvertible.self)

gets build failed.

Any help please?

THis seemed to do it...

var urlContents = String(contentsOfURL: forecastURL!, encoding: NSUTF8StringEncoding, error: nil)

Yay!
