unexpectedly found nil in swift

I have code like this in my controller:

var itemList:[String] = []

@IBOutlet var tasksTable:UITableView!

func tableView(tableView: UITableView, numberOfRowsInSection section: Int) -> Int{
    return itemList.count
}

func tableView(tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath) -> UITableViewCell{
    var cell = UITableViewCell(style: UITableViewCellStyle.Default, reuseIdentifier: "cell")

    cell.textLabel.text = itemList[indexPath.row]

    return cell
}

override func viewWillAppear(animated: Bool) {
    tasksTable.reloadData() <-----------------------
}

Why am I getting this error?

ERROR: unexpectedly found nil while unwrapping an Optional value

It is because at the moment viewWillAppear is called, tasksTable is nil. You probably forgot to hook up the outlet in the nib.
