4,882 PointsMy code works but it wont let me pass.
I have put in all the correct arguments and labels and my output is matches so why is my code not working
func duplicate<T>( _ item: inout T, _ numberOfTimes: inout Int) -> [ T ]
{
var anArray = [item]
var counter = 0
repeat{
anArray.append(item)
counter += 1
} while counter < numberOfTimes
return anArray
}
var a = 1
var b = 3
var myArray = duplicate(&a, numberOfTimes: &b)

23,970 PointsAlthough there are multiple ways to complete this. Here is the way that I did. There are several things that you are including that do not need to be included
func duplicate<T>(item:T, numberOfTimes:Int) -> Array<T> {
var newArray: [T] = []
for _ in 0..<numberOfTimes {
newArray.append(item)
}
return newArray
}
duplicate(item: 1, numberOfTimes: 4)

func duplicate<T>(item: T, numberOfTimes: Int) -> [T] {
var ary = [T](repeating: item, count: numberOfTimes)
return ary
}
