Enum: nothing in result sidebar, why?

Hi all,

I'm getting my hands on enumerations.

enum Name { case Julien case Sophie case Jean case Myriam }

enum NameType { case GirlName case BoyName }

func boyOrGirl(name: Name) -> NameType { switch name { case .Jean, .Julien: return .BoyName default: return .GirlName } }

In the function boyOrGirl and for the case .Jean and .Julien, nothing appears in the side bar so I'm guessing I'm doing something wrong.

Could someone tell me why?

Thanks in advance,

Julien

Hey Julien,

I tried your code out and everything works as expected. Are you sure you are inputting the enum names correctly?

enum Name {
    case Julien
    case Sophie
    case Jean
    case Myriam
}

enum NameType {
    case GirlName
    case BoyName
}

func boyOrGirl(name: Name) -> NameType {
    switch name {
        case .Jean, .Julien: return .BoyName
        default: return .GirlName

    }
}


boyOrGirl(.Myriam) // Returns GirlName
boyOrGirl(.Jean) // Returns BoyName

Hope this helps, Rodrigo

Restarted Xcode and now it's returning it...

Thanks for the help Rodrigo.

Cheers,
