Error when creating variable "turtleSpeed" in "enum" challenge !

Hi

I Worte this code to solve the challenge, but it always shows up an error saying: The variable "turtleSpeed" should be a type of "Int" but its not:

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

var turtleSpeed = Speed(rawValue: 10)

Any help please?

Are you trying to set the variable turtleSpeed to be the raw value of the the Speed member Slow (10)?

If so you're syntax should be;

var turtleSpeed = Speed.Slow.rawValue
