5,557 PointsI 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?
class ViewController: UIViewController {
@IBOutlet weak var timerButton: UIButton!
var redColor: UIColor = UIColor.redColor()
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
func setTitle.timerButton(_ Start: String?)
}
}

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