I can't understand it, please help me!

buttons.swift

// Example of UIBarButtonItem instance
// let someButton = UIBarButtonItem(title: "A Title", style: .plain, target: nil, action: nil)
enum BarButton {
    case done(title: String, style: .plain, target: nil, action: nil)
    case edit(title: String, style: .plain, target: nil, action: nil)
    func button() -> UIBarButtonItem {
      switch self {
        case .done(let title, let style, let target, let action): return UIButtonItem(title, style: UIBarButtonStyle.done, target: nil, action: nil) 
        case .edit(let title, let style, let target, let action): return UIButtonItem(title, style: UIBarButtonStyle.plain, target: nil, action: nil)

Hey Vas!

You're getting confused with the example. You don't need to redefine the enum case statements, we only have to return that type of element in the function. Look at this:

enum BarButton {
    case done(title: String)
    case edit(title: String)
    func button() -> UIBarButtonItem {
        switch self {
        case .done(let title):
/*this is where the example comes in handy, 
and we don't need to change anything else but the "title" thing since we already got it*/
            return UIBarButtonItem(title: title, style: .plain, target: nil, action: nil)
        case .edit(let title):
            //this is where the example comes in handy
            return UIBarButtonItem(title: title, style: .plain, target: nil, action: nil)
        }
    }
}

let done = BarButton.done(title: "Save")
let button = done.button()

Hope it helps. Keep up the hard work!
