In the previous episode, we reviewed several functions that shared the same name. When you create multiple functions with the same name, it’s called “Overloading”.

func getPassStatus(for grade: Int) -> Bool {
  grade >= passingGrade
}

func getPassStatus(for grade: Int, lowestPass: Int ) -> Bool {
  grade >= lowestPass
}

getPassStatus(for: ozmaGrade, lowestPass: 88)

getPassStatus(for: jessyGrade)

func getPassStatus(for grade: Int, lowestPass: Int = passingGrade ) -> Bool {
  grade >= lowestPass
}

func getPassStatus
  
}

func getPassStatus(for grades: [Int]) -> Bool {
  
}

func getPassStatus(for grades: [Int]) -> Bool {
  var totalGrade = 0
  for grade in grades {
    totalGrade += grade
  }
}

  let averageGrade = totalGrade / grades.count
}

  return averageGrade >= passingGrade
}

getPassStatus(for: ozmaAllGrades)

stride(from: 10, to: 0, by: -2)

for i in stride(from: 10, to: 0, by: -2) {
  print(i)
}

for i in stride(from: 10, through: 0, by: -2) {
  print(i)
}

func getValue() -> Int {
  return 13
}

func getValue() -> String {
  "meow"
}

let value = getValue()

let intValue: Int = getValue()
