iOS Build a Simple iPhone App with Swift Views and View Controllers IBOutlet

Compilator says that I'm not text attribute to a quoteLabel

Assume we are creating an app that tells us random quotes. We have a label in our view that's connected to our view controller using an IBOutlet. We also have a button connected to the quoteButtonPressed() action. When we tap the button, we want to show the user a quote. Assign the string "A stitch in time saves nine." to the quoteLabel.

My code: quoteLabel.text = "A stitch in time saves nine"

What's wrong? It looks like a super easy task, but whatever I do - I fail.

I think you forgot the period in the quote.
