3,203 PointsHi Macdonald! Don't be discouraged, challenges and errors are here to make us better developers. Here's what I did as my solution.
func search(#name: String) -> String? {
let names = ["Doc","Grumpy","Happy","Sleepy","Bashful","Sneezy","Dopey"]
for n in names {
if n == name {
return n
}
}
return nil
}
if let result = search(name:"Doc") {
println("Found")
}
I have a function called search, with the parameter being that I pass it a string. This function returns an optional, and I know this because there's a question mark after the String. If the string passed ends up being a name, this function will return it. If the string passed is not in the array of names, we return a nil. Finally down below I declared a constant named result, using an if let statement. I call my search function and pass the name "Doc". Since Doc is in my array, the console will print "Found".
Don't get discouraged friend, it's all a learning process. See you around the forums!
