rawValue or hashValue?

My xCode playground is not accepting .rawValue in my daysTillWeekend function, but rather when gives me the option of a hashValue when I start typing. It seems to return the correct answer when I put in Day.Friday into the function the answer comes back as 1.

But the code breaks if I use .rawValue

Looks like it's an issue with my Xcode, I have version 6.0.1 and it doesn't appear that Apple used rawValue until 6.1

Try .toRaw() so Day.Saturday.toRaw() returns 6.

The .rawValue is all fine in Xcode 6.1 so you may need to update.
