Println

I am taking a course on swift. Whenever I try to use the println function in playground this message appears.

Playground execution failed: /var/folders/1x/400wqsqd0xd49yq1bssh9xxh0000gn/T/./lldb/4622/playground45.swift:6:1: error: 'println' has been renamed to 'print' println("Hi") ^~~~~~~ print Swift.println:2:13: note: 'println' has been explicitly marked unavailable here public func println<T>(value: T)

Yes, the println statement has been removed I believe as when you print something normally

print("Hello")

in the results window/pane area it has a /n next to it, indicating that in the new Xcode or Swift version they've made it easier.

Hi!

As the message you received pointed out the 'println' function was renamed to just 'print'. There was quite a lot of things that changed with version 2 of Swift and I would recommend that you work on the iOS Development with Swift 2.0 Track as it takes into account all the updates made to Swift since version 2 released.

I hope I managed to help you out! If you have any more questions then don't hesitate to ask them.
