I keep getting a error message on this code challenge. I'm pretty sure that is correct. Any thought?

I am on challenge 3 of 3 in the modifying arrays quiz and I am getting an error message that says: "Your todo variable has the wrong value".

var todo = ["Learn Swift", "Build App", "Deploy App"] todo.append ("Debug App") todo.append ("Fix Bugs")

todo.removeAtIndex (1) let item = todo.removeAtIndex (1) todo.insert("Learn iOS", atIndex:1)

arrays.swift 
var todo = ["Learn Swift", "Build App", "Deploy App"]
todo.append ("Debug App")
todo.append ("Fix Bugs")

todo.removeAtIndex (1)
let item = todo.removeAtIndex (1)
todo.insert("Learn iOS", atIndex:1)

your code for task 2 is incorrect. task 2 states Now that we have to fix bugs in our app we cannot deploy it. Please remove the third item ("Deploy App") and assign it to a constant named item.

the third item is at index 2. you removed index 1. also you removed it twice. just remove the second index once and assign the return value to item.

var todo = ["Learn Swift", "Build App", "Deploy App"]
// task 1
todo.append ("Debug App")
todo.append ("Fix Bugs")
// task 2
let item = todo.removeAtIndex (2)
// task 3
todo.insert("Learn iOS", atIndex:1)

if you try the code above and it still does not work, restart the challenge and add the code for each task one by one.

Thanks for the help. That makes sense.
