Empty Array in Swift?

I am trying to create an empty array in Swift that the user adds on to. It is a very small class because I am just starting a new file. I am using this tutorial for my project which is what the code is based off. Here is the code I tried (It didn't work):

var tasks = task[]()

Here is all of my code in case it is needed:

class TaskManager: NSObject {

    var tasks = task[]()

    func addTask(name: String){
        tasks.append(task(name: name))
    }
}

There is an error on the var tasks = task[]() line saying: "Array types are now written the brackets around the element type". I am unsure of how to fix the problem.

How can one create an empty array?

Any input or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

You have to declare the array in this way:

var tasks = [task]()

It changed in swift from the tutorial you are watching.

The syntactic sugar for an array of Type is [Type] in Swift. You can create an empty array of Tasks like this:

class Task{}
var tasks = [Task]()
