Hovercraft challenge

Question

I have a coding challenge requiring an input, but I am coding in Swift. Unlike Python which has an input() function, I dont have that pleasure. Any help on how I could resolve this?

Answer 1

Try this

monthly(customers: Int(readLine()!)!)

Answer 2

Yeah, you're correct.
readLine function gives an optional.
The exclamation mark is used to forcefully unwrap the optional :)

Answer 3

Show your attempt

Answer 4

Steven try the readLine function

Answer 5

Simba Thank you so much! Would you mind explaining how this works? My understanding is that “!” Unwraps the optional and forces the code to accept the inputted value, is that correct?
