Timer not working

var timerCount = 0
var timerRunning = false
var timer = NSTimer()

@IBOutlet weak var timerLabel: UILabel!

 func counting () {
 timerCount += 1
timerLabel.text = "\(timerCount)"
 }



@IBAction func startButton(sender: AnyObject) {

timer = NSTimer(timeInterval: 1, target: self, selector: ("counting"), userInfo: nil, repeats: true)

    }

What is wrong with my code?

Hello:

Try this

var timerCount = 0
var timerRunning = false
var timer = NSTimer()

@IBOutlet weak var timerLabel: UILabel!



@IBAction func startButton(sender: AnyObject) {

timer = NSTimer.scheduledTimerWithTimeInterval(1, target: self, selector: "counting:", userInfo: nil, repeats: true)

    }

 func counting () {
 timerCount++
timerLabel.text = "\(timerCount)"
 }

}

I modified your code a bit.

Good luck.
