This is probably due to the recent update - there seems to be different ways that the compiler reacts to it. What does your error say?

The latest version of Swift has deprecated the println method, replacing it with print. Maybe your beta version of Xcode is treating the deprecation as final and calling println an error. In the standard version, both methds are still accepted.

Exactly when i type print it shows in the end that ther is a /n at the end of the code so its working the same as print ln but still the assistant editor shows a blank page

Try View | Debug Area | Activate Console ... your output may be hiding in there! Or Cmd + Shift + Y

And to avoid the new line being added, try print("Print this stuff", appendNewline: false)
