confused by code challenge question- Intermediate Swift 2

I am having trouble with this first code challenge question, I can't seem to get my bearings with it.

  1. Is the computed property supposed to be created in the level tracker struct I created in the previous question? Otherwise i don't understand what struct the computed property is supposed to be created in.
  2. The dot notation given, "Text.Headline.style" is used in the all the preceding videos when referencing a struct. So my expectation here would then be that there would somehow have to be a struct called "Text" with a property called "Headline" etc. I don't understand how to create a computed property as part of a struct that is referenced by an enum.case notation.

I am struggling to even know what my question is, so anything to help me get on track is appreciated. thanks! darcy

enum.swift 
let UIFontTextStyleHeadline = "UIFontTextStyleHeadline"
let UIFontTextStyleBody = "UIFontTextStyleBody"
let UIFontTextStyleFootnote = "UIFontTextStyleFootnote"

enum Text {
  case Headline
  case Body
  case Footnote
}

Ok, I think I've answered my own question. I see by more careful reading of the docs that enums can in fact contain computed properties. That was the piece I was missing.

Thanks anyway everyone.
