check the 'questionSelected' variable scope and Switch statement scope are in the same level

The cases must be exhaustive otherwise you must have a default statement. I modified the case 0: just to get it to execute in a playground.

let questionSelected = Int(arc4random_uniform(1))


switch questionSelected{
case 0:
    let x = "(question goes here)"
default:
    break
}

Okay, went an extra step. This works. Hook up the label to a storyboard.

class ViewController: UIViewController {


    @IBOutlet weak var questionBox: UILabel!


    override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()

        let questionSelected = Int(arc4random_uniform(1))

        switch questionSelected{
        case 0:
            questionBox.text = "Does this work?"
        default:
            questionBox.text = "Does this work better?"
        }

    }
}

Second update:

func thisCodeMustBeInAFunction() {

     let questionSelected = Int(arc4random_uniform(1))

     switch questionSelected{
         case 1:
             questionBox.text = "(question goes here)"
         default:
             break
     }
}
