42,016 Pointsthe task states Use a for-in loop to print out a "7 times table". Your output should look like this:
1 * 7 = 7
2 * 7 = 14
Etc., all the way up to 10. Each line should be on a new line.
we can use a range and a for loop to loop through all the numbers 1 through 10.
we can then use string interpolation to interpolate the number variable, and the number variable * 7 to create the desired output
for number in 1...10 {
println("\(number) * 7 = \(number * 7)")
}

42,016 Pointsyou use { } to create code blocks, or pieces of code that are grouped together. blocks of code like this are common when using loops, functions, etc
at 4:39 of this video amit opens a new block of code ( {} ) after the for in loop.
he then manually types print and selects println from autocomplete. it does not just pop up. the code challenge engine is not xcode, so it does not support code completion. you will have to type all code out yourself

612 Pointsno, what I'm saying is it randomly goes from this line {
to down here } and he doesn't explain how you do that
Stone Preston
42,016 Pointsoh, you press enter/return.
for number in 1...10 { //then press return a few times to create new lines
} // then add the brace
is that what you mean?
