Can I test whether an enum value is a particular case without using a switch statement? [duplicate]

Question

Consider:

enum Test {
    case foo
    case bar
    case baz
    case etc
}

var test: Test = ...

I would like to test whether the enum is bar in particular. I could just use a switch statement:

switch test {
case .bar:
    doSomething()
default:
    break
}

It would be far neater if I could instead use if:

if test == .bar {
    doSomething()
}

But unless I'm missing something, there is no way to do that:

Binary operator '==' cannot be applied to two 'Test' operands

Is this possible, and if not, was this a deliberate language design decision?

Answer 1

You can use the if-case operand

if case .foo  = test {    doSomething() }
