Hey Jurgen,

Both of these functions give us the same results. println is used for Swift 1.2 and print is used for Swift 2.0 (a newer version of Swift) . You use them the same way, here's an example

println("Hello World")   // prints out hello world

print("Hello World")   // prints out hello world

print means print.

println means print line. ln is line.
