Xcode 9.4 Playground Swift Console Outputting

enter image description hereI just decided to learn Swift as a new language and I downloaded Xcode and have been following the Apple's Swift learning course. The console won't print() anything. I know it can't be a syntax error, because I haven't even touched the code that they have as an example that is supposed to show the print() function working. I do have the bottom pane open and the pane on the right open as well.

Debugging Tried So Far:

I tried the "view -> Show Assistant Editor". No dice... I Originally had Xcode 9.4.1 and saw that it had just been released, so I uninstalled and downloaded Xcode 9.4 thinking that it might solve the issue.

Thanks for the help!

Your code is still compiling (translating to machine code) here (recognise this by looking at the toolbar at the top). You should wait a few moments until it's finished. Your code is correct.

If it takes longer, try restarting Xcode or even your Mac.

Code recompiles every time you make a change in an Playground. This isn't the case in projects. I wouldn't recommend using projects because

  • they don't have instant feedback;
  • contain other mess that will distract you from learning swift;
  • they need to be rebuild every time you make a change.
