NSData.getDatafromURL(...........) now change to NSdata(contentsOfURL: courseURL!, options: nil, error: nil)

this quiz I can not get pass.

students_code.swift 
import Foundation
let treehouseBaseURL = NSURL(string: "https://api.teamtreehouse.com/")
let courseURL = NSURL(string: "/course/\(courseID)", relativeToURL: treehouseBaseURL)
let courseData: NSData = NSData(contentsOfURL:courseURL!, options : nil, error : nil) as NSData

Hi Lei zheng,

Your answer is almost correct, the reason it doesn't pass is because the challenge isn't looking for an explicit type to be set for courseData nor do you need to down cast it as an NSData instance as it's already an instance of NSData.

let courseData = NSData(contentsOfURL: courseURL!, options: nil, error: nil)

Happy coding!

thank you both. I copy and paste. it works. I remember I used the same code. including the courseURL! the bang mark there. But I don't know where I get wrong. You guys are awesome. But by the way, why you guys come back answer my question? are you guys paid?

or just to get high point?

I do it because, other MODs did the same for me when I started out at treehouse. I'm glad to return the favor. Im sure sometime in the near future Lei you will become a MOD too.

P.S we don't get paid in cash but we do take Karma points :)

got it. Yes, I will. I am on my way to that MOD position. I just wonder why codeschool did not get much traciton like treehouse forum. I basically a paid member on all the online course. But get most help from stackoverflow, dash and treehouse. thank you again. I love the word karma points. I will try to get some in near future.
