1,425 PointsHow can I include ten multiples in my array?
I think I almost have it.
// Enter your code below
var results: [Int] = []
for number in 1...10 {
print("\(number) times 6 is equal to \(number*6)")
let multiplier = number
var multiple = [multiplier*6]
var results = [multiple]
}

You are close but there are a couple of mistakes in your code.
- Use .append(value) to update the existing results array
- Do not declare a new results array inside the loop
- Make sure that multiple is just an Int and not an array with an int.
Once you do the above, you get something like this.
// Enter your code below
var results: [Int] = []
for number in 1...10 {
print("\(number) times 6 is equal to \(number*6)")
let multiplier = number
var multiple = multiplier*6 // should be a value not an array
results.append(multiple) // add items to existing array
}
results // this line is for testing in playground only
I hope that helps,
Mike

it can be shortened to results.append(number*6)
