Methods
Recall that a method is a function that is associated with a type. In some languages, methods can only be associated with classes (which we will discuss in Chapter 15). In Swift, methods can also be associated with enums. Create a new enum that represents the state of a lightbulb.
Listing 14.18 Lightbulbs can be on or off
