So you have a label and a button. You want to change the label when you press the button. Since that is the action, you need to put your code below the button. Your code will consist of the quoteLabel, which you need to change the text. So you would need to call the text from the quote label by using "quoteLabel.text". This gives you access to modify the text for the label. Now the rest is like algebra --> x="foo", think of quoteLabel.text as X. quoteLabel.text = "foo" should change the current label to foo
