This question isn't working properly. I've tried every different way of coding this that I can think of.

Something appears to be wrong with the compiler.

arrays.swift 
var todo = ["Learn Swift", "Build App", "Deploy App"]
todo.append ("Debug App")
todo.append ("Fix Bugs")
todo.removeAtIndex (3)
let item = ("Deploy App")
todo.insert ("Learn iOS", atIndex: 1)

Hello Anthony:

The compiler is working fine, and your code was close to getting it. When the challenged asked you to remove an item, and assign it to a constant named item, you did't do it properly.

Here is how:

var todo = ["Learn Swift", "Build App", "Deploy App"]
todo.append ("Debug App")
todo.append ("Fix Bugs")

let item = todo.removeAtIndex(2)
todo.insert ("Learn iOS", atIndex: 1)

Good luck ! doing a great job.

Thanks, I figured this out shortly after posting the question.
