Question - Amit says we can 'get a drink' before attempting to write our code. Can we have beer?

Problem, it's still morning.

Ha ha XD I was in one course with another instructor and he said we should take a drink too, to relax hahaha I think he said tea or coffee though. So, you don't need to have a "drink" like beer, water is a drink too. Drink water, it will be a good thing to do early in the morning.

There is no rule on when not to drink beer and Walmart is open ;)

I think "Drink" is an Optional here:

var drink: String? = "Beer"

We can then use a range and a for-in loop to consume a six pack by unwrapping each beer can in the loop with a !:

for number in 1...6 {
  println("Drinking \(drink!) number \(number)")
}

Output:

  • Drinking Beer number 1
  • Drinking Beer number 2
  • Drinking Beer number 3
  • Drinking Beer number 4
  • Drinking Beer number 5
  • Drinking Beer number 6

Warning: Optional Chaining with Vodka is not recommended, it will result in CRASH! ;-)

"The best time to have a beer (or two) would be when you’re searching for an initial idea. Because alcohol helps decrease your working memory (making you feel relaxed and less worried about what’s going on around you), you’ll have more brain power dedicated to making deeper connections."
