nil coalescing operator and multiple function parameters

Forums > Swift

Good evening,

I am trying to incorporate a nil coalescing operator with multiple function parameters. I can make it work with only 1 function parameter but despite multiple efforts can't make it work for multiple.

Appreciate any guidance....

Paul.

Code below:

func albumReleased(year: Int, age: Int) -> String? {
    switch year, age {
        case 2006, 33: return "Taylor Swift"
        case 2007, 34: return "Fearless"
    default: return nil
    }
}
let album = albumReleased(year: 2006, age: 34) ?? "unknown"
print("The album is \(album)")

You need to use a tuple in your switch:

func albumReleased(year: Int, age: Int) -> String? {
    //note the parentheses...
    switch (year, age) {
    case (2006, 33): return "Taylor Swift"
    case (2007, 34): return "Fearless"
    default: return nil
    }
}
let album = albumReleased(year: 2006, age: 34) ?? "unknown"
print("The album is \(album)")
