Swift Weather App: Problem Extracting JSON Response to NSString

Following videos and everything is working up to this point. I receive the response from forecast.io and can write the JSON out to the console.

When I introduce the call to stringWithContentsOfURL, I get fatal errors.

let downloadTask:  NSURLSessionDownloadTask = sharedSession.downloadTaskWithURL(forecastURL!,
            completionHandler: { (location: NSURL!, response: NSURLResponse!, error: NSError!) -> Void in

                var urlContents = NSString.stringWithContentsOfURL
                (location, encoding: NSUTF8StringEncoding, error: nil)

   })

The specific error is...

Could not find an overload for 'stringWithContentsOfURL' that accepts the supplied parameters

Answered my own issue. It was an accidental carriage return between the method name and the open parenthesis. Never a good thing.
