In Swift, none of the assignment operators return a value like they do in Objective-C. Instead, they just return Void in all cases.
That being said, in the starter code for the challenge move(_:) is actually supposed to return Void. That's why it doesn't specify a return type. In Swift, when you omit a function's return type, it is assumed to return Void. If you remove your function's return type and all of the return statements within the function, I believe it should pass the challenge. Great job!

47,912 PointsIs this in an error message? The challenge's instructions don't say that it needs to return a value. In fact, adding a return value to the move(_:) function will make it an entirely different function in the eyes of Swift than the one that the challenge is expecting to test

3,471 Pointsok got it, got confused with the return of the function and the enum . thks
