Sydney Opera House has a capital 'O'. Your code is fine if you change that.
But I'd suggest using a switch statement as it is neater:
func coordinates(for location: String) -> (Double, Double) {
switch location {
case "Eiffel Tower": return (48.8582, 2.2945)
case "Great Pyramid": return (29.9792, 31.1344)
case "Sydney Opera House": return (33.8587, 151.2140)
default: return (0, 0)
}
}
Steve.

1,762 PointsI have tried both. Switch statement was fine but if else case was giving me an error. I have been checking over return values but haven’t checked location.

57,712 PointsYeah - the tests are very specific so are case sensitive - changing 'opera' to 'Opera' will fix your if/else code.

1,762 PointsThanq steve. It was great tutorials. Could you please suggest me some interview questions.
Steve Hunter
57,712 PointsWhat sort of interview? Are you leading the interview or are you the candidate?
manoj Singireddy
1,762 PointsIam the candidate.. what kind of questions do can i expect.

57,712 PointsI'd be asking questions about the job description - provide examples of how you can perform the tasks required, work as a team player, be a self-starter. Then I'd be asking questions about what the candidate knows about the business/company - why will they be a good fit; where do they see their career developing in the business. I'd be asking about the candidate's knowledge of the field the business operates in - how do they remain up to date with developments, how well known are they within the market, what contacts does the candidate bring, how will they be better connected in this role, why does the role represent a career progression, will the candidate's future plans move them away from the business?
Just some thoughts. I've not done interviews for a while but they usually focus on key competencies and then explore how the candidate's experience fits with the role/team/company.
I hope that helps.
Steve.
