enum compare

Been searching and trying to figure out a comparison problem.

func ==(lhs : ACType, rhs : ACType) -> Bool {
  switch (lhs,rhs) {
    case (.other, .other):
      return true
    case (.other, _):
      return false
    case (_, .other):
      return false
    default:
      return lhs == rhs
    }
  }

enum ACType {
  case noType
  case natural
  case armour
  case shield
  case deflection
  case dodge
  case sacred
  case luck
  case other(String)

  static func Stacks(type : ACType) -> Bool {
    return type == ACType.noType || type == ACType.dodge || type == ACType.other
  }
}

I get an error concerning ‘type == ACType.other’.
Compiler blab: Binary operator '==' cannot be applied to operands of type 'ACType' and '(String) -> ACType'

How do I fix this? Simply cannot see it.

TIA Mark

The “==“ operation can only compare concrete instances of the enum.
With “type == ACType.other” the right side is not an instance. as the associated value is missing.

Oh, I am not using the correct terminology, sorry. Enum’s don’t have “instances” right?
Anyhow, I guess you get my drift…

Use a switch statement:

switch type {
    case .noType, .dodge, .other: return true
    case .natural, .armour, .shield, .deflection, .sacred, .luck: return false
}

Note that I’ve spelt out all the cases so that the compiler warns me if I add or remove a case in the future.

Share and Enjoy
