rawvalue is being treated as a member in the enum how do i stop it

enum Day: Int {
    case Monday = 1, Tuesday = 2, Wednesday = 3, Thursday = 4, Friday = 5, Saturday = 6, Sunday = 7
}

func daysTillWeekend(day: Day) -> Int {
return Day.Saturday.rawValue - Day.rawValue
}

Hello Boris:

Sorry for the delay, but everything looks good on your code, the only thing is that you are returning Day.rawValue, when it should return the parameter in your function day.rawValue.

That’s it done.

I also fixed your question so that the code can be displayed properly.

Has the .rawValue been removed in the latest version of Swift? I'm running into the same problem. I don't see it coming up in the dot syntax bar and rawValue is being treated as a member of the enum.

It says 'Day does not have a member named rawValue'.

I used .hashValue instead. I don't know what that is, but it works.

Hello Dee:

Perhaps if you show me your code I may be able to help. As far as I know, the rawValue still in swift.
