How to override switch case behaviour like we override operator == with Equatable protocol
Equatable protocol not called when enum compared in switch case. Here is my code `import Foundation public enum AMSelectionStyle{     case single     case multiple     case any } public enum AMCalenderMode{     case date     case time     case dateTime     case any      } public enum AMNumberType:String{     case natural = "N" //(also called positive integers, counting numbers, or natural numbers); They are the numbers {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, …}     case whole = "W" //This is the set of  natural numbers, plus zero, i.e., {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, …}.     case integer = "Z" // This is the set of all whole numbers plus all the negatives (or opposites) of the natural numbers, i.e., {… , ⁻2, ⁻1, 0, 1, 2, …}     case rational = "Q" //This is all the fractions where the top and bottom numbers are integers; e.g., 1/2, 3/4, 7/2, ⁻4/3, 4/1 [Note: The denominator cannot be 0, but the numerator can be].     case real = "R" //(also called measuring numbers or measurement numbers). This includes all numbers that can be written as a decimal. This includes fractions written in decimal form e.g., 0.5, 0.75 2.35, ⁻0.073, 0.3333, or 2.142857. It also includes all the irrational numbers such as π, √2 etc. Every real number corresponds to a point on the number line.     case all = "" // all of the above } public enum AMInputType:Equatable {     case list(AMSelectionStyle)     case number(AMNumberType)     case calender(AMCalenderMode)     case freeText     case boolian     case picklist         public static func ==(lhs: AMInputType, rhs: AMInputType) -> Bool {         switch (lhs, rhs) {         case (let .list(a1), let .list(a2)):             if a1 == .any || a2 == .any {                 return true             }else if a1 == .single && a2 == .single {                 return true             }else if a1 == .multiple && a2 == .multiple {                 return true             }             return a1 == a2         case (let .number(a1), let .number(a2)):             if a1 == .all || a2 == .all {                 return true             }else if a1 == .natural && a2 == .natural {                 return true             }else if a1 == .whole && a2 == .whole {                 return true             }else if a1 == .integer && a2 == .integer {                 return true             }else if a1 == .rational && a2 == .rational {                 return true             }else if a1 == .real && a2 == .real {                 return true             }             return a1 == a2         case  (let .calender(a1), let .calender(a2)):             if a1 == .any || a2 == .any {                 return true             }else if a1 == .date && a2 == .date {                 return true             }else if a1 == .time && a2 == .time {                 return true             }else if a1 == .dateTime && a2 == .dateTime {                 return true             }             return a1 == a2         case (.freeText, .freeText):             return true         case (.boolian, .boolian):             return true         case (.picklist, .picklist):             return true         default:             return false         }     } } func compareEnum(inputType:AMInputType)->Bool{     switch inputType {     case .number(.all):         print("Switch case number check Successful")         return true     case .calender(.any):         print("Switch case calender check Successful")         return true     case .list(.any):         print("Switch case list check Successful")         return true     default:         print("Switch case check Failed")         return false     } } //Comparasion fails compareEnum(inputType: .number(.real)) //Compatisation succeeded when enum parameters values are same compareEnum(inputType: .number(.all)) //If condition succeeds if AMInputType.number(.all) == AMInputType.number(.real) {     print("If Condition number check Successful") }
