I'm getting an error saying "I need to use an if statement" on this specific question. However, I am!

Is there something I'm missing here? I have an if statement included and yet I can't get this challenge passed. Is there another way I should be approaching this?

months.swift 
let months = [1, 2, 3]
for i in 0...2 {

    if(months[i] == 1) {
        print("January")
    }
    else if(months[i] == 2) {
        print("February")
    } else {
        print("March")
    }

}

  1. You should replace the '0...2' with the let variable 'months' in your for in loop
  2. You don't need to specify months[i] in the if statement, you can just write the 'i' variable
  3. It should be println() instead of print()
  4. I think they wanted you to use an else if statement for the i == 3 too

The completed code should look like this:

let months = [1, 2, 3]

for i in months {

    if (i == 1) {
        println("January")
    } else if (i == 2) {
        println("February")
    } else if (i == 3) {
        println("March")
    }

}
