Code Coach input in Swift

Question

Hi, new to coding in Swift

The Code Coach assigns a problem that asks you to do something with an input. I create the code and make the first line a variable assigning the first input value. When I run the code, it works for the first test. But it will fail the second test because it wants a new input to be used, which will change the expected output.

I can change my variable value to the input for test 2, but it will then fail test one???

How do I get past this point?

Thanks for the help!

Answer 1

Oh sorry. I didn't mean to use the exact phrasing I wrote, but to use whatever form of input the language uses.

looks like it should be something like "let a = readLine()" without the ".

Can you copy the code coach, create a new code in the code playground and paste it there, then save it and add it here?

Answer 2

Your variable should be the input, not the value of the input.
Example: a + b
int a = input
int b = input

This way, any input give their result as opposed to one "hard coded" result.

Answer 3

Thanks Ausgrindtube I have tried the following:
Int a = input
Int a = Input
int a = input
int a = Input
All of the above with spaces around the = removed,
All of the first four but with ==
And then started trying brackets, colons.

All combinations returned errors.

I cant figure out the Swift syntax to use the input. While searching, I came across readLine(). Ive tried that but it appears to set as a string and not a variable or integer.
