Hi I am just wondering what is wrong with this code. I appears the Xcode has updated. Thanks

I have followed the steps I am just wondering if there is a minor error. When i run the app it says that it has failed.

Hello,

Try reconnecting the IBoutlet "funFactLabel" from Main.storyboard to ViewController.swift.

class ViewController: UIViewController {

@IBOutlet var funFactLabel: UIView!

override func viewDidLoad() {
    super.viewDidLoad()
    funFactLabel.text = "an interesting fact"                        //  this line is giving me the error:

Value type of 'UIView' has no member 'text'

code should go like this. what you have wrong is that you are putting @IBOutlet var funFactLabel: UIView! and it is not UIView is UILabel. @IBOutlet weak var funFactLabel: UILabel!

override func viewDidLoad() {
    super.viewDidLoad()
    funFactLabel.text = "An Intersting fact!"
}

override func didReceiveMemoryWarning() {
    super.didReceiveMemoryWarning()
    // Dispose of any resources that can be recreated.
}

} Hope this help!
