Enums with Power basics

Define enums with raw or associated values, use switch for exhaustive matching, and model states with them.

Intro

Swift enums go beyond simple constants. They can have raw values or associated values and work with exhaustive switch statements.

Raw values assign a constant value to each case, e.g., String or Int.

enum Direction: String {
    case north = "N"
    case south = "S"
}
print(Direction.north.rawValue)
