Hi Paul! The dog "interruptions" are actually a brilliant addition to the videos!

1. They become variable rewards in and of themselves, causing motivation: "Will I see the dogs in this video? Maybe… I need to keep watching!"
2. They offer comic relief. This gives the brain a quick break and makes one remember, "It's going to be ok. I'm going to get this. The dogs are getting treats. All is well."

Loving these lessons! Thank you!!!

Hi Paul! Happy New Years! I’m loving your “100 Days of SwiftUI”, and I’m going through it on Swift Playground. Here’s a good way to illustrate the sorted & reversed array functionality using your example:

print (presidents)
print (presidents[1])
print (presidents.sorted())
print(presidents.sorted()[1])
print (presidents.reversed())
print (presidents.reversed()[1])

Hey Paul !

I was wondering, what if you wanted to capture the the value of the variables in the reversed way, how would you do that ? Just out of pure curiosity

What is the empty () brackets for in Array<String>()?

Lana, Pam, Ray, and Sterling, I see you're a man of taste also ;) (phrasing)

I typed print(cities.sorted()) and i got an error saying cannot call value of non function type '()'

Here you got carried away little bit with methods. You kinda jumped into them without explaining anything. Other than than, love the course so far.

let samoyeds = 2
let treats = samoyeds * 5
print("\(treats) treats per day")
