How do you assign a variable turtleSpeed to a rawvalue of the member Slow ?

4,407 PointsTo assign the raw value of Speed.Slow to the "turtleSpeed" variable you would have to do something like the following:
var turtleSpeed = Speed.Slow.rawValue

4,407 PointsHi Raymond,
It sounds like you are asking about Task 2 of the "Enum Members and Raw Values" code challenge.
Please take a look at the "Enum Members and Raw Values" video. Around the 3:50 mark in the video, Amit talks about accessing raw values.
This should help with that code challenge.
However, if it is still not clear how this is being done, please let me know.

1,989 PointsIts asking for a variable though and the videos is showing it as a func?

4,407 PointsThe key part of that section of the video (in relation to the code challenge) is the part where Amit is accessing the raw value itself.
Amit writes: Day.Saturday.rawValue
This will give you the raw value of the "Saturday" case. You are not limited to using this in a function only, you can use it outside of a function. In your case you want to assign this raw value to a variable.
Please let me know if any further clarification is required, or if you would like you can post the code that you have tried.

1,989 PointsI put var turtleSpeed(speed: Speed) -> Int { Return Speed.Slow.rawValue } But still not correct ?

1,989 PointsThank you Amit didn't explain it like that but when I see assign it does that necessarily mean it's gonna be a = ?

4,407 PointsDue to the vagaries of English, it can depend on how the task has been worded.
For example, I could say: "Create a variable called turtleSpeed and set its value to Slow".
However, generally speaking, I would say that you would be correct in assuming that Swift's assignment operator (which is the = sign) should be used if you are being asked to "assign" something.
