Error randomFact()

Hi I keep getting errors when using the code in the func randomFact() exactly as described. when I test the code in the Playground it works. But when used in the model it only get errors.

I use Swift 3

This is the code:

let factsArray = [ "Ants stretch when they wake up in the morning.", "Ostriches can run faster than horses.", "Olympic gold medals are actually made mostly of silver.", "You are born with 300 bones; by the time you are an adult you will have 206.", "It takes about 8 minutes for light from the Sun to reach Earth.", "Some bamboo plants can grow almost a meter in just one day.", "The state of Florida is bigger than England.", "Some penguins can leap 2-3 meters out of the water.", "On average, it takes 66 days to form a new habit.", "Mammoths still walked the earth when the Great Pyramid was being built."]

func randomFact() -> String { let unsignedArrayCount = UInt32(factsArray.count) let unsignedRandomNumber = arc4random_uniform(UInt32(unsignedArrayCount)) let randomNumb = Int(unsignedRandomNumber)

return factsArray[randomNumb]

}

I get error on this line: let unsignedArrayCount = UInt32(factsArray.count)

And error says: Thread 1: breakpoint 2.1 3.1 4.1

I have tried to quit and restart xcode.

Best regards Peter

I found it. I had breakpoints inserted and I didnt know their functionality. Now they are gone and everthing is working.
