I need help on this question about For In Loops in Swift.

I'm not understanding what I'm supposed to do. Do I turn this into a dictionary?

var results: [Int] = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10]

for multiplier in results {

print("\(multiplier) times 6 is equal to \(multiplier * 6)")

}

This prints out the multipliers. What else is needed? The instructions are confusing.

This is what I thought it was asking for, but it says it's wrong.

results.append(6, 12, 18, 24, 30, 36, 42, 48, 54, 60)

What they are wanting you to do is to have a for loop populate the results array with the multiple results.

Consider my code example below with comments inline.

var results: [Int] = []  // This is the empty array that we will append to.

for multiplier in 1...10 {  // Here we are using a closed range to make a list of numbers to loop over.
    results.append(multiplier * 6)  // Here we are appending the result of the multiplier to the array.
}

I hope this helps. Feel free to ask more questions if you have them. :)
