Error when coding the @IBAction exercise

Hi

I'm trying to solve the quoteLable exercise but I always got an error, here is my code:

quoteLabel.text = "A stich in time saves nine."

Please any advise ?

Thanks Abdallah

random_quote.swift 
class viewController: UIViewController {

    @IBOutlet weak var quoteLabel: UILabel!

    @IBAction func quoteButtonPressed() {
        //Your code here!
        quoteLabel.text = "A stich in time saves nine."
    }

}

you misspelled stitch,

class viewController: UIViewController {

    @IBOutlet weak var quoteLabel: UILabel!

    @IBAction func quoteButtonPressed() {
        //Your code here!

        quoteLabel.text = "A stitch in time saves nine."
    }

}

Abdallah ElMenoufy sorry I just looked at this again after answering a similar question and when I first answered I thought this was in objective C. you dont have to use self in swift except for when inside closures. edited my answer to reflect that. the only thing that was wrong with your original answer was that you misspelled stitch.
