Hello

Since you are using the latest release of Xcode and Swift 2.0, the println() method has been changed to print().

Something like this will work:

print("To build an iPhone app we need to learn \(modernProgrammingLanguage)")

Hope that helps! :grinning:

To make lines in Swift 2: To print on a single line, use the optional appendNewline: argument. Otherwise print defaults to adding a carriage return at the end of each line.

print("test ", appendNewline: false); print("this")
