This lesson is broken.

My code reads: print("List:\n1\tBread\n1\tMilk\n1\tHoney")

I have a dev here telling me it's right, the site flashes white when I run the code, then it errors and doesn't say why. I'm loosing patients for these bugs.

strings.swift 
print("List:\n1\tBread\n1\tMilk\n1\tHoney")

Hello Bret : When it comes to coding, you have to be very very patient. Just ONE dot, can complicate your life. Perhaps your dev friend also did not seem to see this error, but here is the answer to your challenge. It works, I just did it.

println("Bread\n Milk\n Honey\nā€)

// you were using \n1 and \t , the challenge only wanted you to use \n

So it was not a bug, just a simple mistake. Happy coding, there will be a lot more challenges harder ahead which required a lot of patience and practice. Good luck
