Code Challenge: A Recap with UIButton

Challenge Task 1 of 1

Let’s assume we have an IBOutlet of type UIButton, named timerButton, as a property in the ViewController.swift file. In the viewDidLoad method, set the title of the button to “Start” for the state configuration Normal. Hint: Check out the UIButton class reference

Here's the code:

class ViewController: UIViewController {

    @IBOutlet weak var timerButton: UIButton!
    var redColor: UIColor = UIColor.redColor()

    override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()

        //Add your code below

    }
}

There's a method setTitle()

timerButton.setTitle("Start", forState: .Normal)

Didn't work bud. Got anything else?

Bummer! You need to use the setTitle method on timerButton.

That did work however I am still perplexed. I used the documentation and the docs for setTitle specify to use it as so

func setTitle(_ title: String?, forState state: UIControlState)

It did not specify to use the dot syntax method in the instructions.
