No functions available?

Hi, I tried using NSDate() in a swift application that I'm making and It's not recognising that it is a thing. Do I need to import something or set something up?

EDIT: So it turns out no functions are available at all, really weird. EDIT: fixed :), just rebooted

Did you actually create an instance of NSDate?

var time = NSDate()

I agree with Anthony, if you don't have the UIKit imported you can not use NSDate.

Below works for me; I tried to remove the UIKit and NSDate became invalid.

import UIKit

var date = NSDate()
