facts on type "FactsModel"

Hello I have this exact same problem. Getting the error: Instance member 'facts' can not be used on type 'FactModel'. (A red exclamation mark.)

Here is my code:

class ViewController: UIViewController {

    @IBOutlet weak var label: UILabel!
    @IBAction func ShowLove() {
    label.text = FactModel.facts[1] 
    }

    override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()
        label.text  = FactModel.facts[0]
    }
    override func didReceiveMemoryWarning() {
        super.didReceiveMemoryWarning()
        // Dispose of any resources that can be recreated.
    }
}

and in FactModel.swift file is:

struct FactModel {
    let facts = [
        "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." ]
}

i closed the x-code and re-opened it. and the error was fixed. i have no idea why it occurred at the first place. Didn't changed anything in code.. it was fixed by just rebooting the x-code application.

Actually, i when i rebooted x-code program the red error signs were gone. i was thought that problem was solved. and wrote here my reply that everything was OK.

However later when i hit the Play icon to run the program and try test it it, it wrote "built failed" and the same error message came back.. Then i paid attention to my code and your previous reply. you were right i was never created the instance inside the class, where the override function resides.

As you have mentioned, After creating the instance 'let factModel = FactModel()' the problem was solved.

I wanted to mention this for those who may search the answer for this problem in this topic.

Thanks for the help

Remove the capital 'F', Martina ... use factModel.facts[0] not FactModel.facts[0] - so you're using the instance, not the class itself.

Make sense?

Steve.
