Challenge #2: Eh?
Open up a new Playground and write a function that satisfies the following requirements:
– Accepts a String parameter
– Returns an Int based on the total number of letter “a” or “A”s in the string that gets passed in.
– If the String parameter has no “a” or “A”s, then return 0.
For example:
– Passing in the string, “Radar”, should return 2.
– Passing in the string, “Hello, should return 0.
Hints:
– You can treat the String like an array.
– The String class has some useful functions. Make sure you check them out!
