4,773 Pointswhen = is an assignment or an "equal to" operator?
I saw for enum pattern matching when the if statements were used, for example
if case .Dime = coin {
print(something) }
the '=' operand represents equal to and not an assignment. Whereas if I was writing this line of code without an enum case '==' this is how I would need to represent equal to.
Can someone clarify when and why we do this?
