Swift Playground - Round up the switches - character won't move

What error do you get ?

problem is that both are 0

var gemcount = 0
var switchcount = 0

Hence,

while switchcount < gemcount

is never executed.

Replace by

var gemcount = 2
var switchcount = 0

Thanks - it's one step further :)

But: how do I code the while-loop correctly? The loop should run until gemcount = switchcount.

Late to this, but in case anyone else stumbles across this and is stuck, here is my suggestion to the code above:

while switchCount < gemCount **|| gemCount < 1{**

    movement()

    collect()

    toggle()

}

The issue is because both switchCount and gemCount are = 0. This prevents the while switchCount < gemCount loop to start. Adding || gemCount < 1, allows this loop to start.

start the loof by using a for i in 1 ... 3 { moveForward() if isOnGem { collectGem() gemCounter += 1 }

it cretats a difference in the initial steps

var switchCounter = 0 var gemCounter = 0 for i in 1 ... 3 { moveForward() if isOnGem { collectGem() gemCounter += 1 }

}

while switchCounter < gemCounter{ if isOnGem { collectGem() gemCounter += 1 } else if isOnClosedSwitch { toggleSwitch() switchCounter += 1 }else if isBlocked { turnRight() } moveForward()

}

WORKED , still open to inprovment
