Will someone provide me with a hint as to why this code works in Xcode, although, not with the challenge?

Question

Challenge Task 2 of 2

Inside the body of the loop, we're going to use the multiplier to get the multiple of 6. For example, if the multiplier is 1, then the multiple is 1 times 6, which is equal to 6.

Once you have a value, append it to the results array. This way once the for loop has iterated over the entire range, the array will contain the first 10 multiples of 6. // Enter your code below var results: [Int] = [] for multiplier in 1...10{ print("(multiplier) times 6 is equal to (multiplier * 6)") results.append(multiplier) }

loops.swift

// Enter your code below
var results: [Int] = []
for multiplier in 1...10{
    print("\(multiplier) times 6 is equal to \(multiplier * 6)")
    results.append(multiplier)
    }

Hi Philip, That's it! Xcode prints out no values with this: results.append(multiplier). Xcode prints out values of 6 through 60 with this: results.append(multiplier * 6). Thanks, Mark

It appears your print was correct, but you were saving the multiplier values and not the multiplier * 6 since your operation was inside of a print statement so it never executed. I have never done swift so this is only a guess based on other programming experience/knowledge.

The code below works.

// Enter your code below
var results: [Int] = []
for multiplier in 1...10{
    print("\(multiplier) times 6 is equal to \(multiplier * 6)")
    results.append(multiplier * 6)
    }
