Unable to access the facts.

When I'm trying to access the facts in the array it continues to tell me that "Instance member "Facts" cannot be used on type "FactProvider"

code for struct: struct FactProvider { let facts = [ "Ants stretch when they wake up in the morning.", "Etc..." ] }

code in the view controller import UIKit

class ViewController: UIViewController {

@IBOutlet weak var FunFactLabel: UILabel!

let factProvider = FactProvider()

override func viewDidLoad() {
    super.viewDidLoad()

// THIS IS WHERE I GET THE ERROR FunFactLabel.text = FactProvider.facts[0]

}
override func didReceiveMemoryWarning() {
    super.didReceiveMemoryWarning()
    // Dispose of any resources that can be recreated.
}
@IBAction func showFact() {
}

}

Hi,

So you are receiving an error when you include "FunFactLabel.text = FactProvider.facts[0]" inside the "viewDidLoad"? If so, I noticed you called "FactProvider.facts[0]", but maybe it should call "factProvider.facts[0]" instead.
