Need help with the Swift language

Assume we are creating an app that tells us random quotes. We have a label in our view that's connected to our view controller using an IBOutlet. We also have a button connected to the quoteButtonPressed() action. When we tap the button, we want to show the user a quote. Assign the string "A stitch in time saves nine." to the quoteLabel.

random_quote.swift 
class viewController: UIViewController {

    @IBOutlet weak var quoteLabel: UILabel!

    @IBAction func quoteButtonPressed() {
        //Your code here!
        print quoteLabel; text "A stitch in time saves nine"
    }

}

There is also an error in your code. Maybe that solves your problem?

quoteLabel.text =  "A stitch in time saves nine"
