2,651 PointsMy result always present the infinite decimal. How to make it to four decimal places?
my code is:
func coordinates(for location:String)->(Double,Double){ var lat = 0.0 var lon = 0.0 switch location { case "Eiffel Tower": lat = 48.8582 ;lon = 22.2945 case "Great Pyramid": lat = 29.9792;lon = 31.1344 case "Sydey Opera House": lat = 33.8587;lon = 151.2140 default: lat = 0;lon = 0 } return (lat,lon) }
after that I got the result is infinite decimal
// Enter your code below
func coordinates(for location:String)->(Double,Double){
var lat = 0.0
var lon = 0.0
switch location {
case "Eiffel Tower": lat = 48.8582 ;lon = 22.2945
case "Great Pyramid": lat = 29.9792;lon = 31.1344
case "Sydey Opera House": lat = 33.8587;lon = 151.2140
default: lat = 0;lon = 0
}
return (lat,lon)
}

8,386 PointsThere are several ways to deal with repeating decimals and number formatting.
One quick solution is to use the "round" function (you'll need to import Foundation or UIKit to use this).
So for instance:
import Foundation
// Enter your code below
func coordinates(for location:String)->(Double,Double){
var lat = 0.0
var lon = 0.0
switch location {
case "Eiffel Tower": lat = 48.8582 ;lon = 22.2945
case "Great Pyramid": lat = 29.9792;lon = 31.1344
case "Sydey Opera House": lat = 33.8587;lon = 151.2140
default: lat = 0;lon = 0
}
return (lat,lon)
}
let result = coordinates(for: "Eiffel Tower")
round(result.0) //rounds to nearest whole number, no decimal (e.g. displays "49")
round(result.0*100)/100 //rounds to 2 decimal places (displays 48.86)
round(result.0*1000)/1000 //rounds to 3 decimal places, etc. (displays 48.858)
Another solution is to use the NumberFormatter class. You can read more about it here:

Good luck.
