I did not initialise the enum, but made an init method in the struct where I initialise the status to .Pending. is OK?

Like this:

enum Status {
    case Doing, Pending, Completed
}

struct Task {
    var description: String
    var status: Status

    init(desc: String) {
        self.description = desc
        self.status = Status.Pending
    }
}

Hello Farid: Not sure what you are trying to do but yes, that can work.. BUT the only thing is that when you create an instance and then you access the properties of that instance you have to use .hashValue

enum Status {
    case Doing, Pending, Completed
}

struct Task {
    var description: String
    var status: Status

    init(desc: String) {
        self.description = desc
        self.status = Status.Pending
    }
}

var runningTask = Task(desc: "Working on my homework")

runningTask.description
runningTask.status.hashValue
