What am I missing here? All functionality worked in the swift playground.

I did notice that I had to remove a single parentheses in the "I'm a machine!" function to get the compiler work.

Hey Daniel Hollis! Do you mind if I delete this question? It does not make much sense without any context. What you could do, though, is post the wrong code in your question and create an answer with your working code. This way it might help others. Just let me know. Thanks! :)

Hi Martin Wildfeuer

When are you going to fix that you can't insert code into the questions?! When you click "include code" when posting a question from the challenge page, it doesn't work. Which is why so many questions are missing it.

Hey Marina Alenskaja

I wasn't aware of that issue... I wish I could do something, but moderators are not part of the Treehouse staff. We are just students like everyone else, only difference is we were asked if we want to moderate the forum based on recommendations. This way, I can modify and delete posts, but I can't fix anything. To be honest, not a single request that I posted in this forum or forwarded to the support team has been worked on. Shouldn't say that as a mod, but I am quite disappointed in the forum quality and it seems to be getting worse...

I have tried to tag Pasan in a comment with this issue, but haven't gotten a reply yet. I will try to write an email to them instead, maybe they will fix it then. It's really a huge issue, because the code challenges don't save your answer, so when you haven't attached your code, you have to write it all over again in the question to get some help..

Marina Alenskaja -- I would recommend doing your code challenges in xcode...then it's a simple matter to just copy and paste into the compiler or into a question on the forum.

Hey

That's not really relevant - the issue is that students can't get help when the code isn't included in the forum posts. People expect the code to be included, because there is a "include code" box that's checked when asking a question.
