Hi there, I've been experiencing problems compiling my bit of code for the second part of this quiz.

I receive a "Bummer! Your code can't be compiled" error from the online compiler; however, when I preview the output, I see no errors. Furthermore, when I paste the block of code into an Xcode Playground, I also receive no error and everything compiles. What's going on?

date_formatter.swift 
import Foundation
let secondsSinceBirth = NSTimeInterval(1200000000)
var dateOfBirth = NSDate(timeIntervalSince1970: secondsSinceBirth)

let dateFormatter = NSDateFormatter()
dateFormatter.timeStyle = .ShortStyle
dateFormatter.dateStyle = .MediumStyle

var stringDate = dateFormatter.stringFromDate(dateOfBirth)

Most likely what happened is your code is fine but not exactly what the challenge is looking for. I'm sorry I can't help, I don't know Swift. I did find this post on the forum though.
