Your First iOS & SwiftUI App: An App from Scratch

In the previous challenge, I mentioned that there’s another way to calculate the difference that requires fewer lines of code - and that’s the subject of this challenge.

The new algorithm looks like this:

• First, subtract the target value from the slider’s value.
• Then, if the result is a negative number, then multiply it by -1 to make it a positive number.

At this point, pause the video and try changing the difference calculation to this new algorithm. Then keep watching to compare your work to my solution.

Alright that’s it - good luck.

func points(sliderValue: Int) -> Int {
  var difference: Int = self.target - sliderValue
  if difference < 0 {
    difference = difference * -1
    // or difference *= -1
    // or difference = -difference
  }
  var awardedPoints: Int = 100 - difference
  return awardedPoints
}
