iOS Swift Basics An Introduction to Swift Programming Working With Variables

I am not sure what I should be doing

I tried everything but it seems to be confusing a bit. Any help?

variables.swift
var = "language"
strg var = "Swift"

1 Answer

You have the right idea for making the string literal "Swift", but you need a bit fixing on the variable-making.

To make a variable in Swift, you start with the var keyword, followed by the name of the variable, followed by an equal sign =, and finished off with the value you want to store in the variable.

var language = "Swift"

I recommend re-watching the video.
