How do you open up a website in an iOS app using swift?

I want the users of my app to be able to click a button and have my website open up through their default web browser on their phone.

I've looked on the internet and the code [[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:[NSURL URLWithString:@"https://www.google.com"]]; pops up often but when I use it in my project I get the error "Expected expression in container literal".

If you haven't guessed I am very new to swift and coding in general, if anyone has any insight into my problem and could give me a hand it would be much appreciated!
