1,300 Pointsok so look on the right side. Then press on the output in the standard editor(the one on the left by default). Then, you'll two small icons of an eye and a plus sign. The plus sign will put the console under the code and always make sure you right click and press value history. In addition, the eye makes you see the console in a small pop up.
Hope that helped!

When you downloaded Xcode 7 did you use a beta release - what version are you running?

6,820 Pointsi am running everything he tells me to. he is a copy of it
//: Playground - noun: a place where people can play
import UIKit
let language = "Swift" let year = 2014 // int or Integer var version = 1.0 // Double = 15 decimal FLoat = 7 decimal var isAwesome: Bool = true // Boolean or Bool
I am on the version 7.0 that i downloaded from the app store. no beta version

1,300 PointsAny time <3 by the way these videos are kinda outdated now. Next month they will update all of the course. Cause these videos were made for swift 1.0 and now you're using swift 2.0 . So, if you don't want to re-learn this material wait until the updated course come out.
Raphael Reiter
6,820 Pointsoh, thanks for the tip, do you know when that will be approximately?

57,712 PointsHi Christopher,
They moved the output screen when Swift 2.0 was released. You should be able to find it if you go to the View menu, then Debug Area | Show Debug Area.
I hope that gets it working for you.
Steve.

57,712 PointsWhat's the weird message? Is the code you're trying to use for output correct with no errors?
