Courses Plus Student 11,071 PointsTypo in Assignment
Firstly, the assignment is described as...
Assign an enum value to type South to a constant named Direction, by using a raw value with its initializer method.
...where the uppercase constant Direction should be lowercase direction instead.
Code check is only passed with lowercase direction as expected.
enum Compass: Int {
case North = 1
case South
case East
case West
}
let Direction = Compass(rawValue: 2) // Nope
let direction = Compass(rawValue: 2) // Yes
Secondly, I find the above sentence quite confusing, shouldn't it be more like:
Assign the enum value South of enum Compass to a constant named direction, by using a raw value with Compass' initializer method.

Treehouse Project ReviewerYeah, I found it a bit confusing too. Had to try it twice and read the assignment three times before I found out what they want.
