That's many functions. Moving forward, I would love to have you include your thoughts about each implementation- pros/cons/usefullness. With these early code challenges, I am trying to reinforce how valuable documentation is in solving a problem. I am noticing a lot of students going straight to stack overflow, not realizing that every answer is not always correct... But also, trying to have them be challenging enough for more advanced students, like you, to start to see the nuance. In this example, if you dug deep enough, you may have learned, among other things, about ObjC class bridging into Swift, and that Swift's range() is a struct, whereas NSString's range(of:) is a class.
