For some reason it now says my code for challenge one no longer works. Am i doing something wrong on challenge two
class ViewController: UIViewController {
let blueColor = UIColor.blue
var backgroundColor = UIColor.blue
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.
}
}

You don't need to set backgroundColor outside of viewDidLoad so delete the line, var backgroundColor = UIColor.blue.
You want to use the blueColor constant to set the backgroundColor property of the view using dot notation inside the viewDidLoad method.
Add:
view.backgroundColor = blueColor
after the 'additional setup' comment once you have deleted the line I mentioned above.
