Courses Plus Student 8,059 Pointsproblems with enumerations course
This is the second time where I've run into the problem of the code Pasan writes not working in Swift 4. It's either because I missed something suuuuuuper simple, but because it's the second time, I'm guessing it's because this is an old course involving Swift 3, whereas I'm running Xcode v9.0.1.
Here's what Pasan wrote (which works) versus what I wrote (pretty sure it's the same):
struct Person {
let firstName: String
let middleName: String?
let lastName: String
func fullName() -> String {
if middleName == nil {
return firstName + " " + lastName
} else {
return firstName + " " + middleName! + " " + lastName
}
}
}
let me = Person(firstName: "Pasa", middleName: "Test", lastName: "Premaratne")
me.fullName()
And here's the error I keep getting as the compiler eternally tries to process everything but to no avail:
Playground execution failed:
error: EnumerationsOptionals.playground:2:5: error: expected expression after operator
}
