Need help on task 2 in the challenges. My code isn't working.

import Foundation

let courseID = "https://api.teamtreehouse.com/course/COURSE_ID"

let treehouseBaseURL = NSURL(string: "https://api.teamtreehouse.com/")

let courseURL = NSURL(string: "(courseID)", relativeToURL: treehouseBaseURL)

Hiya,

There's a few points to this challenge. First, you need to make the treehouseBaseURL which you've already done.

Then you need to create a relative URL based on the given courseID and a slightly modified URL. You need to append "course/" to the base URL and then ID at the end of it. You can do that with String Interpolation, "course/\(courseID)" is the correct suffix to add to the existing URL.

You end up with:

let courseID = 25
let treehouseBaseURL = NSURL(string: "https://api.teamtreehouse.com/")
let courseURL = NSURL(string: "course/\(courseID)" , relativeToURL:treehouseBaseURL)

That should get you through the challenge.

Steve.
