Challenge Task 2 of 2 on Swift Closures (On Step 4)
Instructions: Using the differenceBetweenNumbers function as an input to mathOperation, compute the difference between any two integers and assign the result to a constant named difference.
Code: func differenceBetweenNumbers(a: Int, b:Int) -> (Int) { return a - b }
// Enter your code below func mathOperation(mathOperationFunc: (Int, Int) -> Int, a: Int, b: Int ) -> (Int) { return mathOperationFunc(a,b) }
let difference = mathOperation(differenceBetweenNumbers, 10, 5)
Error: Make sure you are computing the difference between two integers using the functions created and assigning the result to a constant named difference.
Note: I compiled this code using Xcode 6.4 with success. Iβm not sure why Iβm receiving an error on the online code checker.
/**
For this code challenge, letβs define a math operation as a function that
carries out some work on two integers and returns an integer as well. An
example is the function below, `differenceBetweenNumbers`, which takes two
integers and calculates the difference between the numbers. After calculating,
it returns the difference.
*/
func differenceBetweenNumbers(a: Int, b:Int) -> (Int) {
return a - b
}
// Enter your code below
func mathOperation(mathOperationFunc: (Int,Int) -> Int, a: Int, b: Int ) -> (Int)
{
return mathOperationFunc(a,b)
}
let difference = mathOperation(differenceBetweenNumbers, 10, 5)
