In Swift 3 we redesigned condition clauses to not use the 

where
keyword; SE-0099 Restructuring Condition Clauses has the details. The upshot is that you can replace 
where
in your example with a comma and it’ll work.

Clearly the Learn the Essentials of Swift tutorial should have been updated to account for this; I’d appreciate you file a bug against that, so that the folks responsible can fix this. Please post your bug number, just for the record.
