Println is not a variable to be assigned, instead it is a function built into Swift (or was) to write something to the output. I say was because Swift 2 has removed the use of println and relies solely on print(). A single equal sign should only be used when you're assigning a value to be stored inside a variable. 

println("List:\nBread\nMilk\nHoney")
