When you use a for-in loop you loop through an array (months) and assign each value to a variable (month).

So instead of checking the value of months in your conditional statements, you want to check the value of month.

for month in months {

if month == 1 {

println("January")

} else if month == 2 { 

println("February")

} else if month == 3 {

println("March")

} else {

println(month)

} }

Hello ayman,

quick solution here:

after "for month in months" you have to delete the "s" where you wrote "months" as you need to check the conditions agains the constant "month" and not "months"

Hope this helps
