You want to use filter to solve this problem. The result is a much simpler (less verbose) solution to the alternative which would be to loop through the array and append the array values that are odd to a new array.

Your function isn't that far off. But instead of creating a standalone function, you'll include the function logic in the closure for the filter method.

Here's the solution:

let numbers = [10,423,802,765,943,12,405,230,1348,128,237]

let oddValues = numbers.filter { $0 % 2 == 1 }
