Finished the War Card Game? Post Your Screenshot Here!

This was a fun project. I added percentages and winner/tie labels. I also added a tie score label and a reset button.

The hardest part was trying to figure out how to display the decimal numbers correctly. I tried using tuncatingRemainder(Dividing by) to tell if the float number for the percentages was actually a whole number. It worked on most whole numbers but missed 60% and 40% to name a few. The problem was that lets say (3/5)*100 should equal 60. However the computer was calculating the answer to 60.000004. to get around this I had to round the float to one decimal and then compare the INT value to the rounded float value. (see below)

   // Convert Int values to Float values, calculate percent and format the output to look like "90.1%" or "90%"
    func calculatePercentage(_ score:Int, _ total:Int) -> String {
        let percent:Float
        let percentRounded:Float
        let answer:String
        
        // calculate percent and convert Integers to Float values
        percent = (Float(score) / Float(total)) * 100
        //Round percent to one decimal Note:  Rounding to one decimal was necessary because some values like 40 or 60 were being calculated as 60.000004 or 40.000004. so they were falling through to the else statement.
        percentRounded = round(10 * percent)/10
        
        if percentRounded == Float(Int(percent)) {
            // Calculated value is an integer(Whole Number), round to zero decimals
            answer = "\(String(format: "%.0f" , percent))%"
            
        }
        else {
            // Calculated value is not an integer(Decimal number), round to one decimal
            answer = "\(String(format: "%.1f" , percent))%"
            
        }
        return answer

Congrats on the new badge and welcome to the community!!
I like how you extended the app!

Also you would think (3/5)* 100 equals 60, but 3 and 5 were both defined as integers. This means your answer will be an integer, not a float.

How cool, thank you Chris! Enrolled in the course a few days ago and I am very impressed. Any other healthcare professionals in here? I watch videos in between patients and study during lunch and some evenings. Any other people at the very beginning like me? I am on Module 2 Lesson 4…

Congrats on your new badge! And welcome to the forum! :slight_smile:



Finally completed the task…
I have add an extra feature that updates the score after 10 taps, that is, on the 11th tap, both the scores will become 0.
Thanks Chris for such an amazing tutorial…

Had great fun building my first iOS App.
Thnx Chris for making this video !

Instructions where very clear. My Java training helped in understanding but anyone can do this :slight_smile:
