The "println" statement has been deprecated as of Swift 2.0. You can check which version of Swift you are using by opening a terminal and typing "xcrun swift -version". The new and improved version of println is simply "print". So if you want to print "Hello World" to the console, type the following code: 

print("Hello World")

A lot of the iOS videos have not been updated to Swift 2.0 yet, so some of the syntax they show in the video will be wrong. If Xcode doesn't make an automatic suggestion your best bet is to google for the correct syntax.
