Why am I getting an error?

I'm at 5:26 in the video. Here is my parallel code in my playground:

let week = ["Monday", "Tuesday", "Wednesday", "Thursday", "Friday", "Saturday", "Sunday"]

func weekdayOrWeekend(day: String) -> String {
    switch day {
        case "Saturday", "Sunday": return "Weekend"
        case "Monday", "Tuesday", "Wednesday", "Thursday", "Friday": return "Weekday"
        default: return "This isn't a valid day in the Western calendar"
    }
}

func muteNotifications(day: String) -> Bool {
    if day == "Weekend" {
        return true
    } else {
        return false
    }
}

let result = weekdayOrWeekend((week[4])
let isMuted = muteNotifications(result)

I have an error on each of the last two lines.

2nd last line: Expected ',' separator

Last line:

Expected expression in list of expressions

Expected ')" in expression list

Thanks for your help.

Hi Brenden,

It seems you have an extra bracket in the following line of code:

let result = weekdayOrWeekend((week[4])

The extra bracket appears before the "week" variable.

Hope this helps.
