when I try to append the items together it says your todo has the wrong value

do you have to put two items together or just one I'm confused

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

Hello Michael:

When using the append method, it will only allow you to add ONE item to the array, at the end of it. If you want to add 2 or more items use the += operator. 

var array = ["One","Two","Three" ]

// Adding one Item to the array
array.append("Four")

// Adding 2 or more items to the array
array += ["Five","Six","Seven"]

hope this helps you solve your challenge.
