428 PointsHow do I add two values to a Constant?
Im currently doing a school project where im supposed to write a food into a textfield and two values will return in the app, the price and the calories.
This is the example i mean (What im doing might be totally wrong though)
let Chilaquiles = (value1 = 100) (value2 = 370)
When I write in my app "Chilaquiles" I will receive back the price (value 1) and the calories (value 2).
Hope you can help
EDIT: Forgot to add the example, LOL.

let apple = (price: 10, calories: 100)
// And then access it like this:
apple.price
apple.calories
There is a lot of better ways to do that like making custom types. But I believe that this is the answer you are looking for. I hope that helps, cheers.

15,994 PointsIf you are very new to programming, I suggest to start from the beginning. If you follow the basic iOS development track, you should have a good grasp of programming using swift. To create custom types, you need to understand Object oriented programming and since you are very novice, I suggest to learn the basics first like variables, constants, strings, collections, loops and so on. Be patient, and keep it up, mate.
