l can't tell what I'm doing wrong here.

According to my playground version of this code I am filling the results with the correct data, but when I click check my work it says that I haven't configured my code correctly. What am I missing?

loops.swift
// Enter your code below
var results: [Int] = []
for multiplier in 1...10 {
  print("\(multiplier) times 6 equals \(multiplier * 6)")
  results.append(multiplier)
}

I figured it out. I wish the "get help" button wouldn't just force me to ask a question, but also suggest other questions students have had with the same code challenge.

The problem was I was misunderstanding what the code challenge meant by finding the "multiple of 6." I thought that meant that I needed to fill the results array with [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10]. If that had been the case, my code would have been right.

What the code challenge actually wanted, however, was the multiples of 1-10 * 6 which are [6, 12, 18, 24, 30, 36, 42, 48, 54, 60].

My line was almost right. The change I made that made it correct was:

results.append(multiplier * 6)

I'm like you, Jarren. What I actually wish is that the "Get help" would be a drop down menu that could either take you to posting your question or do an automatic search for people that have had problems in that particular challenge. It seems like the search is already in place. If you go up to the top of this post and right click on the "For in loops" and open in a new tab it will take you to a place with no less than four pages of answers to exactly this challenge. Let's hope it becomes a reality someday!

P.S. Big kudos on figuring out yourself!

Thanks for the tip, Jennifer. That will be super helpful.
