func lunchSpecial (name: String, day: String) -> String {
switch lunchSpecial (day, desert) {
case "Monday" : "Chocolate"
case "Tuesday" : "Toffee"
case "Wednesday" : "Apple Pie"
case "Thursday" : "Strawberry Shortcake"
default: "No special today"
}
return "Hi \(name), \(day)'s lunch special is \(desert)"
}
lunchSpecial("Luke", day: "Monday")
Was reading the swift book then started to develop my own code in the playground. What's wrong here? How do i get desert to be displayed based on what day it is rather than having to enter the desert? Hope what i'm trying to do makes sense here for the reader.
Also, is there an easier/better way to write this with say enums?

Here's how I would do this:
func lunchSpecial (name: String, day: String) -> String {
let desert: String
switch day {
case "Monday" :
desert = "Chocolate"
case "Tuesday" :
desert = "Toffee"
case "Wednesday" :
desert = "Apple Pie"
case "Thursday" :
desert = "Strawberry Shortcake"
default:
return "Sorry, \(name). No special today."
}
return "Hi \(name), \(day)'s lunch special is \(desert)."
}
lunchSpecial("Luke", day: "Monday")
