My code seems to give me correct answers in xcode playground but couldn't get pass the challange

I guess the problem is to do with how I appended the results but I just don't understand why this works in xocde but couldn't get pass challange

var results: [Int] = []

for n in 1...100 {
    // Enter your code below
    if n % 2 != 0 && n % 7 == 0 {
        results += [n]
    }
    // End code
}

Hi Kent,

You should use the array method append. The rest of your code looks good. Just change your inner line of code to:

results.append(n)

One other suggestion: your if statement is a bit hard to read, and I would consider adding parentheses. It's not wrong the way you have it, but I think this would be more clear:

if (n % 2 != 0) && (n % 7 == 0) {

Cheers :beers:

Thank you Greg! I got passed the challenge with the append method, just confused on why the += operator gave different results compared to the append method (since they were presented as equivalent in earlier videos on swift2.0 track)

You're right that += will work, but there's no sense in creating an array with one element in it just so you can add it to another array. That's what append() is for. Oftentimes the code challenges will only accept one way of doing things - sometimes that's not great... in this case, I think it's fine, since using the append() method makes a lot more sense.
