What am I doing wrong?

What is wrong with this line of code?

todo.append("Debug App", "Fix Bugs")

I try entering it into the computer for the challenge question and I keep getting it wrong. Not sure why.

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

var todo = ["Learn Swift", "Build App", "Deploy App"]

todo.append("Debug App")

todo.append("Fix Bugs")

///// OR/////

var todo = ["Learn Swift", "Build App", "Deploy App"]

todo += ["Debug App", "Fix Bugs"]

I feel 2nd method is better.

You're calling .append() with 2 arguments, when it only takes 1 argument. Break it down into two function calls with one argument each, and you're good to go.

Oh! Okay! Is there a way to do it with two arguments?

You can do this:

var numbers: [Int] = [0]
numbers += [1, 2]
// numbers: [0, 1, 2]
