I have a work related learning course and struck with a hands-on question on Swift programming - Control Transfer Statements like break, continue, fallthrough, return, & throw.

Write a function named printMessage that takes two parameters - a string message and an integer count. The message should print and repeat the message as specified in the count parameter.

Message:"Hello , How are You"

For instance take Count as 8

This should print Message:"Hello , How are You" 8 times consecutively.

So far I got the below code working fine on Xcode, should use control transfer Statements, so tried this. But some extra eyes/other best practice way would help. As I am stuck with this hands-on and it is stopping me to complete the course. The way its designed is it gets input on the text box on the web page and runs the code on the coding area and gets output, if it matches the expected output, it let you submit, but that does not means I am successful as it tests the code with their answer key and my code don't match the answer key and I am failing. Please help

func printMessage(message: String, count: Int){

    for i in 0...count{

        if( i == count){

            break;

        } else {

            print(message);

            continue;

        }

    }

}

let message: String = readLine()!;

let c = readLine();

let count: Int = Int(c!)!;

printMessage(message: message, count: count);

The following piece of code works as it is meant to, in a while loop and also incorporates the Control Transfer Statements, like you asked:

func printMessage(message: String, count: Int) {

    var i: Int = 0

    while true {

        if i < count {

            print(message)

            i += 1

        } else { break }

    }

}





let message: String = "Hello!"

let count: Int = 3

printMessage(message: message, count: count)

If there are any more specifications, let me know. Also, it would be helpful to have a link to the lesson/tutorial. Hope this helps! :)

If you want to do it with for loop:

func PrintMessage (message: String, count: Int) {

    for _ in 0..<count {

        print(message)

    }

}



let message = readLine()

let count = Int(readLine()!)



PrintMessage(message: message!, count: count!);
