Day 19 Solution

Forums > 100 Days of SwiftUI

Here's my solution for the challenge. I tried my best to use simple concepts with as much efficiency as I could think of.

I also tried to change the values of the inputUnit and outputUnit state variable so whenever the user chooses a different conversion type, it will pick the first two units of that type. But I couldn't figure that out so I finished the challenge without doing so.

Please feel free to give any advices or suggestions. and sorry if the code hurts your eyes 😅

  // state variables
