Hi everyone, i am stuck on this exercise.
This is what i have to do: To access information about a course we can use a URL like: https://api.teamtreehouse.com/course/COURSE_ID. Given the variable courseID, create an absolute URL, named courseURL, to retrieve information about a user's progress on a certain course. It should have a path that's relative to the treehouseBaseURL.
I hope you guys can help me with my problem. Greetings Mathis
import Foundation
let courseID = 25
var treehouseBaseURL = NSURL(string: "https://api.teamtreehouse.com/")
var courseURL = NSURL(courseID, relativeToURL: treehouseBaseURL)

8,809 PointsI got that error too when I was first trying to solve it. If you use the same code you had before and just make the change I suggested it should work. \ (courseID) should be all you need to convert it to a string. Do you have both the / and a \
