11,870 PointsCode Will Not Compile
When accessing the background property of the view, and trying to assign an instance of UIColor, it will not compile.
class ViewController: UIViewController {
let blueColor = UIColor(red: 0, green: 0, blue: 255, alpha: 1.0)
view.backgroundColor = blueColor
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
// Do any additional setup after loading the view, typically from a nib.
}
override func didReceiveMemoryWarning() {
super.didReceiveMemoryWarning()
// Dispose of any resources that can be recreated.
}
}

Treehouse TeacherHi there! Your code is fine except that it's a little misplaced. Your declaration for blueColor is in the correct spot, but the assignment of the blueColor to the background should happen inside the viewDidLoad() method.
I think you can get it with this hint, but let me know if you're still stuck!
