I don't understand what i'm missing here
class ViewController: UIViewController {
let color = UIColor()
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
// Do any additional setup after loading the view, typically from a nib.
}
override func didReceiveMemoryWarning() {
super.didReceiveMemoryWarning()
// Dispose of any resources that can be recreated.
}
let blueColor = color.blue
view.backgroundColor = blueColor
}
