iOS Swift Basics (retired) Control Flow While and Do-While Loop

I'm trying to use the "do while" loop like shown in the video. But I'm getting an error message: do is not allowed.

I'm prompt to use the "repeat" instead. Is this because of my version of Xcode? Also the "println" function is also not allowed.

Hi Bruno!

Some of the issues you are experiencing may be due to changes made to the Swift programming language. I know one of the changes that effects a lot of the users here at Treehouse was changing 'println' to just 'print'. Don't worry though, often times a quick Google can help you solve the problem or Xcode might even give you a tip on what to do.

If you don't really want to have to worry about Googling things and changing your code around then I would recommend that you start the Swift 2 Track.

I hope that I helped you out and happy coding!

-Luke
