Why am I getting an error?

I don't understand why I am getting the error "constant named doneButton must be assigned the result"

buttons.swift 
// Example of UIBarButtonItem instance
// let someButton = UIBarButtonItem(title: "A Title", style: .plain, target: nil, action: nil)

enum Button {
  case done(String)
  case edit(String)

  func toUIBarButtonItem() -> UIBarButtonItem {
    switch self {
    case .done(let str): return UIBarButtonItem(title: str, style: .done, target: nil, action: nil)
    case .edit(let str): return UIBarButtonItem(title: str, style: .plain, target: nil, action: nil)
    }
  }
}

let done = Button.done("Save")
let doneButton = done.toUIBarButtonItem()

HI,

Try changing your last constant name from doneButton to button.

It seems the error referencing doneButton is its own mistake. I had the same issue; the instructions of the challenge say to use button. Otherwise, if thats not the only issue I'm not experienced enough to see it yet.

good luck

enum BarButton { case done(title: String) case edit(title: String)

func BarButtonItem () -> UIBarButtonItem {
  switch self {
    case .done(let done): return UIBarButtonItem(title: done, style: .plain, target: nil, action: nil)
    case .edit(let edit): return UIBarButtonItem(title: edit, style: .plain, target: nil, action: nil)
  }
}

}

let done = BarButton.done(title: "Save")
