Don't know what to do what it is asking me for.

It's asking me for a certain task that i am not too sure how to accomplished.

for_loops.swift 
for number in 1...10 {
     println("\(number) * \(number*7) = ")
}

Hey Ricardo,

The challenge wants you to output:

1 * 7 = 7
2 * 7 = 14
3 * 7 = 21
4 * 7 = 28
...

You're very close. In fact your code works - it will just output this:

1 * 7 =
2 * 14 =
3 * 21 =
4 * 28 =
...

If you tweak your code just a bit, it will output the text above:

for number in 1...10 {
     println("\(number) * 7 = \(number*7)")
}

See the difference? It's important you understand why the answer is right, and not just copy and paste the solution in. Otherwise, you'll run into more trouble down the line :).

Good luck!

You're on the right track, it's asking you to iterate n times with a for-in loop, and each time, print out a message to the console that interpolates 'i' into the phrase in two different ways.
