Function with multiple parameters in swift

I need to define and call a function called areaOfRectangle that takes two Int parameters, length, and width, and prints the result of length * width. I actually got result with length * width but it is telling me to make sure I’m defining a function with the correct name and parameters. The answer below will print length * width which is right but the steps are not what it should be.

func areaOfRectangle(length: Int, width: Int) {

    print(“length * width”)

}

areaOfRectangle(length: 0, width: 0)

print(“length * width”)

in this statement length and width are being treated as string literals. Any thing that comes between "" is a string literal at least in swift, also in some other languages.

Swift provide a very good syntactic sugar to use variables and constants within the string by putting the vars and lets within \(). Hence when you correct the above statement to print(“\(length * width)”). It will print correct result of length*width.

Updated code:

func areaOfRectangle(length: Int, width: Int) {
    print(“\(length * width)”) //42
}
areaOfRectangle(length: 6, width: 7)

Here is the way you can return string result from Int parameters:

//define a return type as String here
func areaOfRectangle(length: Int, width: Int) -> String {
    print("\(length * width)")  //same thing you can print here 
    return "\(length * width)"  //return it as String
}

let result = areaOfRectangle(length: 5, width: 5)
print(result) //"25"

You have defined the function correctly but made a small mistake in the front statement as it will always print length * width in the output console as its a string not the operator or operands. Here is the solution

func areaOfRectangle(length: Int, width: Int) {

    print("\(length * width)")

}

areaOfRectangle(length: 0, width: 0)

just added '\'() in the print statement
