Challenge task 1 of 1

The compiler error says to be sure to name a variable named 'name', which I believe I did. Did I do something wrong or is this an error with the compiler?

protocols.swift 
protocol User {
  var name : String { get }
  var age: Int { get set }
}

I tried your code - 

protocol User {
  var name: String { get }
  var age: Int { get set }
}

and was able to pass the challenge. It might be an error with the site for the moment. I'd try again.

Try: "var name: String { get }" instead of "var name : String { get }" It could be an issue with the spacing of "name" and ":"
