*UPDATED ANSWER* Whoops, as Raphael pointed out, I made a mistake in my response.
Here is the corrected code:
enum Compass: Int {
case north = 1
case south
case east
case west
}
let direction = Compass(rawValue: 2)
*ORIGINAL RESPONSE*
The Compass enum is missing a couple of items:
1) The enum's raw value should be String not Int
2) The enum cases should each have raw values assigned
Once you have set these items up, you can instantiate the enum object properly. See the code below:
enum Compass: String {
case north = "North"
case south = "South"
case east = "East"
case west = "West"
}
let direction = Compass(rawValue: "South")

6,820 PointsHi David Papandrew , I dont understand. Pasan says: Let's get in some practice creating enums with raw values. Declare an enum named Compass with a raw value of type Int.
he also say to use : Assign the enum value Compass.south to a constant named direction, by using a raw value with Compass' initializer method.
