in Swift how to get an outlet to work

Good day,

I am just learnning Swift and from the beginning i want everything to work otherwise it's not going to work on biger projects

.

but I do understand what is going on I just can't get the X-Code to get unstuck from where it is.

the outlet is not being reconized to make the conection to the code and I did my research and even put the code in-place ,

before, making the conection yet, it did not work.

it would be in the section on "Create Outlets for UI Elements", 'Outlets'

Then on Step (#6) it shows to add a line of code below the class line ;

// MARK: Properties

1. then you are to add the conection wiht a control+drag on the

   ViewController.swift

   . sheet .
2. Also you can add a line of code under the //MARK Properities and it looks like this;

         @IBOutlet weak var nameTextField: UITextField!

So as, you see I do understand what need to happen I just must be missing a step.

Thank-you for any help,

Brian
