Extending the Example

I am trying to take the example in this video one step further so that if the return of daysTillWeekend is less than or equal to 0 (that is, if your input is Saturday or Sunday), it returns a message that it is currently the weekend.

I've tried some many variations trying to get this to work, but what I want to do boils down to:

func daysTillWeekend(day: Day) -> Int {
    return Day.Saturday.rawValue - day.rawValue
    if <= 0
    println "It's the weekend now!"}

How could I get this to work?

Hello Rob:

I’m not sure if this is what you are trying to do, but maybe you can do something like this.

func daysTillWeekend(day: Day) -> Int{

    if Day.Saturday.rawValue - day.rawValue <= 1 {
        print("It's a weekend")
    } else {
        print("It's Not a weekend")
    }
    return Day.Saturday.rawValue - day.rawValue   
}

Thanks Jhoan, this put me on the right track. Frustrating how close I was to getting it right.
