What am I doing wrong? // Random Quote Swift

What is wrong here?

random_quote.swift 
class viewController: UIViewController {

    @IBOutlet weak var quoteLabel: UILabel!

    @IBAction func quoteButtonPressed() { 
    quoteLabel.text = "A stitch in time saves nine"
    }

}

Hi Jack,

As irritating as it seems the only thing you're missing is a full stop / period on the end of the string, e.g.

quoteLabel.text = "A stitch in time saves nine."

Hope that helps :)

Got it, Left out a full stop, My apologies for wasting space at the forum, looked at this for ages but just couldn't figure it out.

The treehouse editor is very pedantic tonight.
