I am having trouble finding the code to add a title to a button.

I'm looking through the reference document, but it is not helping... what am I doing wrong?

ViewController.swift 
class ViewController: UIViewController {

    @IBOutlet weak var timerButton: UIButton!
    var redColor: UIColor = UIColor.redColor()

    override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()

       func setTitle.timerButton(_ Start: String?)

    }

}

Under the attributes inspector when you click your button in main.storyboard, title should be an option and you can set your title there.

You need to format the function statement like this if you want the title on the button to be "start"

timerButton.setTitle("Start", forState: .Normal)
