I honestly don't understand what you want me to do

I understand that I'm supposed to create a function button to return a UIBarButtonItem but the rest makes no sense to me.

buttons.swift
// Example of UIBarButtonItem instance
// let someButton = UIBarButtonItem(title: "A Title", style: .plain, target: nil, action: nil)

enum BarButton {
    case done(title: String)
    case edit(title: String)

    func button() -> UIBarButtonItem {
      let someButton = UIBarButtonItem(title: "A Title", style: .plain, target: nil, action: nil)
      return someButton
    }
}

let done = BarButton.done(title: "Save")

Below is the correct answer to that challenge

// Example of UIBarButtonItem instance
// let someButton = UIBarButtonItem(title: "A Title", style: .plain, target: nil, action: nil)

enum BarButton {
    case done(title: String)
    case edit(title: String)
}

let done = BarButton.done(title: "Save")

The challenge asks you to "Declare a constant named done and assign an enum value of type BarButton with the member done. This member takes an associated value; assign it the string "Save"."

Essentially, they ask you to create a new constant named "done ". Then they say that you have to assign the case "done" of an numeration called "BarButton" to that constant (done). Lastly, you assign that case the string "Save"

Hope this helps!

Thats the answer to the first part of the challenge. What's the answer to the second part of the challenge?

I don't get it too... Why do we use switch here?
