Why am I getting 'is not a valid digit in integer literal' error while naming Swift enum case?
I'm trying to create an enum with running distances, but Swift is not letting me name the enum case with in this format 5K. I get an error saying 'K' is not a valid digit in integer literal. Here is my code:

Identifiers and hence type properties/enum cases cannot start with numbers. You need to change the naming convention for your enum.
enum RaceType: String {
case fiveK = "5K"
case tenK = "10K"
case marathon
}

It's not obvious that enum cases have anything to do with variables. Use identifiers to cover all those cases without implying a stronger relationship between them.
