Can you find anything wrong with this? todo.insert("Go To School", atIndex: 3)

This is the entire code that I'm asking about:

var todo = ("Wake Up","Brush Teeth","Eat Breakfast","Come Home")

todo.insert("Go To School", atIndex: 3)

swift array literals are enclosed in square brackets [ ], not parenthesis.

see this excerpt from the Swift eBook:

An array literal is written as a list of values, separated by commas, surrounded by a pair of square brackets:

// use square brackets, not parenthesis
var todo = ["Wake Up","Brush Teeth","Eat Breakfast","Come Home"]

todo.insert("Go To School", atIndex: 3)
