I'm an old C programmer just starting to learn Swift and the X-code environment. In Apple's "Develop in Swift Fundamentals", on page 19 I found the first exercise to print "Hello World" in the Terminal using Swift REPL. Weirdly, after following the instructions, I get the following "Badly placed ()'s" error (I'm omitting the Swift Subcommands menu)-

Welcome to Swift!
[MacBook-Pro:] xxxxx% print("Hello, World!")

This is a pretty discouraging result! Obviously, I'm missing something (and please, no jokes about requisite neurons).
