Hi. I am currently following Apple's swift course. However, I get an error saying "Expected '}' at end of brace statement" and I don't really understand why ? Can someone explain why and eventually correct the code ? Thanks ! Capture d’écran 2022-07-26 à 21.51.12.png

 var question2 = question
 
let lowerQuestion2 = question.lowercased()
 
"hello" == "Hello"
 
 
 
 
 
func responseTo(question: String) -> String {
 
    if question.hasPrefix("hello") {
 
        if lowerQuestion2.hasPrefix("hello") {
 
            return "Hello there"
 
        } else {
 
            return "That really depends"
 
    }
 
}

Even if I haven't found a solution to the error, the code itself was wrong. Here's the solution.

 var question = "HELLO"
 
let lowerQuestion = question.lowercased()
 
 
func responseTo(question: String) -> String {
 
    if lowerQuestion.hasPrefix("hello") {
 
        return "Hello there"
 
        } else {
 
            return "That really depends"
 
    }
 
}

You have four left braces in your code and only three right braces. Each left brace needs a matching right brace.

Add a right brace after the second return statement.

 func responseTo(question: String) -> String {
 
    if question.hasPrefix("hello") {
 
        if lowerQuestion2.hasPrefix("hello") {
 
            return "Hello there"
 
        } else {
 
            return "That really depends"
        }   // Add the brace here to close the else block.
 
    }  // End the outer if block
 
}  // End of func

	var question2 = question

	let lowerQuestion2 = question.lowercased()

	"hello" == "Hello"





	func responseTo(question: String) -> String {

	if question.hasPrefix("hello") {

	if lowerQuestion2.hasPrefix("hello") {

	return "Hello there"

	} else {

	return "That really depends"

	}

	}

	var question = "HELLO"

	let lowerQuestion = question.lowercased()


	func responseTo(question: String) -> String {

	if lowerQuestion.hasPrefix("hello") {

	return "Hello there"

	} else {

	return "That really depends"

	}

	}
