It says to modify the search function. In the video the function was never modified but the for loop was. Please explain
func search(#name: String) -> String {
let names = ["Doc","Grumpy","Happy","Sleepy","Bashful","Sneezy","Dopey"]
for n in names {
if (n == name) {
return name
}
}
return "nil"
}

At the top of the function, you must add a '?' to the end of '-> String' Then, at the bottom of the function, you need to take the "" off of nil. nil is its own value; that is to say, NO value. Just know that nil isn't a String.
