I'm going wrong on the 2nd part of this task, help much appreciated!
func search(#name: String) -> String? {
let names = ["Doc","Grumpy","Happy","Sleepy","Bashful","Sneezy","Dopey"]
for n in names {
if n == name {
return n
}
}
return nil
}
if let == names {
println("Found")
return search "Doc"
}

1) We need to create an if-let statement that will store the value from running the search function into a constant that the challenge wants us to name 'result'. We are told to search for the name of "Doc", so we'll specify that as our name to search for.
2) Should the string be found, we'll use the println method to print out the string of "Found".
func search(#name: String) -> String? {
let names = ["Doc","Grumpy","Happy","Sleepy","Bashful","Sneezy","Dopey"]
for n in names {
if n == name {
return n
}
}
return nil
}
if let result = search(name: "Doc") {
println("Found")
}
Hope this helps!

1,049 PointsThat helps a lot CJ thanks. I'm just struggling a lot with understanding the questions and then working out how to put everything together from what has been asked.
