Stuck on a challenge

What is wrong with this code?

import Foundation let treehouseBaseURL = NSURL(string: "https://api.teamtreehouse.com/") let courseURL = NSURL(string: "/course/(courseID)", relativeToURL: treehouseBaseURL) let courseData = NSData.dataWithContensOfURL( courseURL , options: nil , error: nil) println(courseData)

Hi Amrit,

There's a few things to watch out for here.

  • There's a small typo in NSData.dataWithContentsOfURL (missing a t in Conten*t*s)
  • Drop the / from the beginning of /course/(courseID). You already have a trailing forward-slash on https://api.teamtreehouse.com/ so it's not needed.
  • String interpolation requires a backslash followed by parentheses containing the variable. You're missing the forward-slash, so it should be: course/\(courseID).

Hope this helps :)
