iOS Swift Collections and Control Flow Control Flow With Conditional Statements Working With Logical Operators

I have no idea what I am supposed to do in this code challenge.

Here is the question: For this challenge, we'd like to know in a range of values from 1 to 100, how many numbers are both odd, and a multiple of 7.

To start us off, I've written a for loop to iterate over the desired range of values and named the local constant n. Your job is to write an if statement inside the for loop to carry out the desired checks.

If the number is both an odd number and a multiple of 7, append the value to the results array provided.

Hint: To check for an odd number use the not operator to check for "not even"

I really need help since I have no I dealing what I am supposed to do.

operators.swift``` 
var europeanCapitals: [String] = []
var asianCapitals: [String] = []
var otherCapitals: [String] = []

let world = [
  "BEL": "Brussels", 
  "LIE": "Vaduz", 
  "BGR": "Sofia", 
  "USA": "Washington D.C.", 
  "MEX": "Mexico City", 
  "BRA": "Brasilia", 
  "IND": "New Delhi", 
  "VNM": "Hanoi"]

for (key, value) in world {
    switch key {
    case "BEL": europeanCapitals.append(value)
   }
}

Hi Joshua,

you need to append only the n values (from 1 to 100) to the "results" list that fulfill both conditions:

1) The value is a multiple of 7. You can check that with the remainder operator (%) as:

n % 7 == 0

This is because if n divided by 7 has no remainder, you can divide n by 7.

2) n is odd. You do that by checking if n is even, first. This works the same way as in 1). If it is even, you can divide n by 2 without remainder. So for n to be odd, this check has to be negated:

n % 2 != 0

Now you have to combine the two conditions using && and pack them into an if statement. If both conditions are fulfilled, n should be added to "results", using

results.append(n)

Good luck
