Its getting tougher as i proceeding next steps in function. please guide me how to feel comfort while coding. i am getting nervous if i am not able to solve the challenges.
// Enter your code below
//question:
//Eiffel Tower - lat: 48.8582, lon: 2.2945
//Great Pyramid - lat: 29.9792, lon: 31.1344
//Sydney Opera House - lat: 33.8587, lon: 151.2140
/*Declare a function named getTowerCoordinates that takes a single parameter of type String,
named location, and returns a tuple containing two Double values (Note: You do not have to name the return values)
Use a switch statement to switch on the string passed in to return the right set of coordinate values for the location.
For example, if I use your function and pass in the string "Eiffel Tower" as an argument,
I should get (48.8582, 2.2945) as the value.
For the default case in the switch statement, return (0,0).*\

So lets break down the question.
You've been asked to create a function that takes in a single parameter and returns a tuple. Fairly straight forward:
func getTowerCoordinates (location: String) -> (Double, Double) {
}
Next we have to create a switch case for the values of the locations we've been given:
switch location { case "Eiffel Tower" : coordinatesLong = 48.8582; coordinatesLat = 2.2945 case "Great Pyramid": coordinatesLong = 29.9792; coordinatesLat = 31.1344 case "Sydney Opera House": coordinatesLong = 33.8587; coordinatesLat = 151.2140 default: coordinatesLong = 0; coordinatesLat = 0 }
Remember that a switch statement requires a default case, so go ahead and create two variables before creating the switch case:
var coordinatesLong: Double
var coordinatesLat: Double
And since we've created a function, don't forget that you must have a return statement:
return (coordinatesLong, coordinatesLat)
I hope this helps :)
