3,028 PointsUI Color
Could someone tell me what is wrong with my code?
class ViewController: UIViewController {
let blueColor = UIColor(red: 0/255.0, green: 0/255.0, blue: 255/255.0, alpha: 1.0)
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.
}
}

231,184 PointsSpecifying "255/255.0
" for the blue argument is taken as a divide operation, causing it to be set to 1 instead of 255.
But the instructions give you a hint about an even easier way to get the color:
let blueColor = UIColor.blue
