What is wrong with this code?

It is saying "You need to assign .text to the quoteLabel" didn't I already do that?

random_quote.swift 
class viewController: UIViewController {

    @IBOutlet weak var quoteLabel: UILabel!

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

}

Try the following syntax to assign text to the label:

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

You have it right Ethan. Just make sure you put the period at the end of the sentence.

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