Pay Report in Swift.....getting closer to the answer still need to have format specifiers!!!

// Using the data below, create an appropriate and attractive pay report. Be sure to include //totals, labels, and headers. //Currency values should be formatted appropriately using String formatting.
tuples in the employees array contain the following data: (id, name, regular hours, overtime hours, holiday hours, pay scale) You can generate a string with formatted numeric output using the following: String(format: <format specifier>, arguments:<argument list>) Where:<argument list> alist of one or more variables enclosed in [] <format specifier>a string literal containing a format specifier as shown The format specifier has the following format: //%[0][width][.precision][type]
