354 PointsEXC_BAD_ACCESS error when coding an array
When trying to code an array such as var todo: [String] = "Finish collections course" , "Buy groceries"]
I run into this error message:
Playground execution failed:
error: Execution was interrupted, reason : EXC_BAD_ACCESS ( code =1, address = 0x0). The process has been left at the point where it was interrupted, use "thread return -x" to return to the state before expression evaluation.
I am running Xcode 11.1 and I have tried restarting Xcode, trying it in a new page, and creating a new file.

47,913 PointsPlaygrounds can be weird with it's error messages sometimes, but I'm surprised this compiled (unless this is just Playgrounds crashing instead of your code). You're missing an opening square bracket ([) at the beginning of your array definition, so that code won't compile. Swift will also understand that you're creating an array of Strings from the value you give the variable, so you also don't strictly need to explicitly declare the variable's type, though it will still work if you do

354 PointsI made a mistake in copying down my code, I originally had the opening square bracket ([). It gives me that error when trying to make any list or dictionary like the example below.
