function

WHAT IS WRONG WITH THIS CODE ? IT DOES NOT SHOW ANY ERROR BUT IT DOES NOT EXECUTE AS WELL.

func costOfCarpetHaving(length len: Int, width wd: Int, carpetColor color: String)-> Int {

var price = 0

let areaOfRoom = len * wd

switch color {
case "red": price = areaOfRoom * 1
case "blue": price = areaOfRoom * 2
case "white": price = areaOfRoom * 3
default: price = 0

} return price }

costOfCarpetHaving(length: 12, width: 5, carpetColor: "white")

Hi Pema,

Your code is executing fine. Is there a code challenge your having issues with, or perhaps did your Xcode crash? Quit Xcode entirely and reopen everything to see if that fixes it.

Your function call is returning 180 for me :)

func costOfCarpetHaving(length len: Int, width wd: Int, carpetColor color: String)-> Int 
{

   var price = 0

   let areaOfRoom = len * wd

   switch color 
   {
   case "red": price = areaOfRoom * 1
   case "blue": price = areaOfRoom * 2
   case "white": price = areaOfRoom * 3
   default: price
   } 

   return price 

}

costOfCarpetHaving(length: 12, width: 5, carpetColor: "white") //returns 180
