With Swift, what is the syntax to store user input in a variable? Thanks!

Like C# in a Console application with Console.ReadLine(), what is the Swift syntax to do the same thing? Thanks!

Hi Kristian,

Unlike C#, iOS doesn't have an interactive console. To capture user input you would need to add an input to your storyboard, link it to your view controller using an @IBOutlet and then use a button to capture the value through an @IBAction outlet.
