Stuck in an Apple Swift tutorial (SOLVED)

>The code looks like this:

Image sharing, if that's what you tried, is prohibited here - see: For Best Results - Read the Label

Instead, use the code editor <> brackets.

Good luck w/the older stuf.

Have you read completely the tutorial ?

Do you speak of the init?() method ?

There in an intentional (pedagogical) errror at the beginning, for which they give the solution later:

Replace this code:

// Initialization should fail if there is no name or if the rating is negative.

if name.isEmpty || rating < 0  {
    return nil
}

With the following:

// The name must not be empty
guard !name.isEmpty else {
    return nil
}

// The rating must be between 0 and 5 inclusively
guard (rating >= 0) && (rating <= 5) else {
    return nil
}

Your init?(name:, photo:, rating:) method should look like this:

init?(name: String, photo: UIImage?, rating: Int) {
   
    // The name must not be empty
    guard !name.isEmpty else {
        return nil
    }
   
    // The rating must be between 0 and 5 inclusively
    guard (rating >= 0) && (rating <= 5) else {
        return nil
    }
   
    // Initialize stored properties.
    self.name = name
    self.photo = photo
    self.rating = rating
   
}

Weird, weird, weird.

[Yes, Claude, the error msg was on the "init" and it said something like "Initializers may only be declared within a type".]

Immediately after the section where I had the error msg, there was a section (in the tutorial) on using the builtin testing facilities. I did this. In the process of doing this, I ran the tests.

Lo and behold! Everything is working!!!

The error msg (about which I posted this initially) HAS DISAPPEARED!!!

So everything is fine.

Don't know why, but it's fine.

Sorry and thanks for the help. (You'll probably see me here often, after I finish the excellent tutorial and attempt stuff on my own!)

Good. Just don't forget to close the thread, by marking the correct answer, which may be yours.

>So everything is fine.

Keep in mind that such tutorials attempt to teach more than just what to put between the margins...
