In the second "dayType" function, why is a case Day.Monday and not day.monday?

The function starts as follows:

func dayType(for day: Day)-> String {

So we create the local "day" variable which is type "Day", Yet our switch statement has cases on Day.Monday not day.monday for example.

The reason for this is because a switch works like an if. You have the element that you are switching over and the cases you are testing against. It would work something like this:

if day == Day.Monday {
    // Stuff here
}

The above code does the same as:

switch day {
case Day.Monday: //Stuff here
}
