When I type in print"\(number) it gives me an error for the " and the \ on the newest version of swift

It gave me a suggestion to use print; but still won't let me insert quotations after this.

I'm going to break down the syntax from the outside in:

We start with the print function: 

print()

Then we decide that we're going to print a string: 

print("")

Then we interpolate a variable into the string:

print("\(number)")

EDIT: And just in case it's not clear - you're missing the outside parentheses. They don't show up very clearly against the dark background.
