Can't figured out why I'm getting this question wrong when assigning the variable turtleSpeed to the rawValue of Slow

I keep getting an error that the variable turtleSpeed was expecting a Int value and not receiving it, although i am using the same method for assigning the rawValue as was demonstrated in the video

enum.swift 
enum Speed: Int {
    case Slow = 10, Medium = 50, Fast = 100
}

var turtleSpeed = Speed(rawValue: 10)

Hi Ron,

You have the right idea here. Try using the dot syntax.

enum Speed : Int{
    case Slow = 10
    case Medium = 50
    case Fast = 100
}


var turtleSpeed = Speed.Slow.rawValue
