Compiler error

This is annoying... The compiler is buggy... What's wrong with the code below? The course doesn't allow me to move on... This is deal breaker.

random_quote.swift 
class viewController: UIViewController {

    @IBOutlet weak var quoteLabel: UILabel!

    @IBAction func quoteButtonPressed() {
        quoteLabel.text = "A stitch in time saves nine"
    }

}

Hi Jay!

The compiler is working just fine.

Take a very close look at what the challenge is asking for. You have a typo of sorts in your quote. For future reference, I always check my spelling, punctuation, etc. first when I get an error in my code. This isn't an error, per se, but it's the same concept. I've learned over time that it's usually me, not the computer, that's at fault :).

class viewController: UIViewController {

    @IBOutlet weak var quoteLabel: UILabel!

    @IBAction func quoteButtonPressed() {
        quoteLabel.text = "A stitch in time saves nine."  // You were just missing the period.
    }

}
