My solution works in Xcode but fails the challenge. Does anyone know why? The hint says "Make sure you're adding an add method that takes an Int and returns Int?" but I think my solution meets those criteria. The "best answer" for this challenge was similar, but used a guard statement instead. Thanks!
// Enter your code below
extension String {
func add(_ value: Int) -> Int? {
if let convertedNumber = Int(self) {
return (value + convertedNumber)
} else {
return nil
}
}
}
