how to simplify and make it better using enum, swift learning, enum

I am defining some of ranges by following

let range0_15   =   0 ..< 15
let range15_30  =   15 ..< 30
let range30_45  =   30 ..< 45
let range45_60  =   45 ..< 60

I really want to use Enum for this by trying

enum range : Range<Int> {
    range0_15   =   0 ..< 15
    range15_30  =   15 ..< 30
    range30_45  =   30 ..< 45
    range45_60  =   45 ..< 60
}

And I am getting an error 

Type 'CoreDataStach.range' does not comform to protocol RawRepresentable

Is it possible to define an enum like above and if it is yes, what I am missing right here.

Try like this:

enum rangeEnum : Int {
    case range0_15
    case range15_30
    case range30_45
    case range45_60
    
    var range:Range<Int> {
        switch self {
        case .range0_15 : return 0 ..< 15
        case .range15_30 : return 15 ..< 30
        case .range30_45 : return 30 ..< 45
        case .range45_60 : return 45 ..< 60
        }
    }
}

Then you can use

rangeEnumVariable.range

or:

rangeEnum.range0_15.range

You might be better off trying something like this using a struct.

struct Ranges{
    static let range0_15   =   0 ..< 15
    static let range15_30  =   15 ..< 30
    static let range30_45  =   30 ..< 45
    static let range45_60  =   45 ..< 60
}

if Ranges.range0_15.contains(6){ //Test to true
    print("inside range")//Prints "inside range"
}
