I am getting print(value: T) instead of print(object: T) causing an error message. Please help

If you could attach your code to your question that would be great. It helps me and others to understand your problem visually.

import UIKit

var str : String = "Hello "

let modernProgrammingLanuage : String = "Swift"

var greeting = str + modernProgrammingLanuage // implicit type String or inferred type String

print(value: T)

-Im following the Swift Basics tutorial and he says I should get print(object: T) but thats not what it shows. Im not getting the print(object: T) option.

you should clear the parenthesis on the print command. Xcode "hints" at what some commands should include, but that's not always what you want. To print a simple string for example you only use.

print("Hello!")

or to print a variable

var hello = "Hello World!"
print(hello)

also, notice that the "p" in print is not capitalized

so, in your case, if you want to print the variable greeting you just type

print(greeting)
