Enums Instead of Booleans – An Example Implementation

This article discusses the benefits of using enumerations instead of booleans to represent mutually exclusive states, inspired by Objc.io's snippet. It presents a subscription service scenario where user status (current subscriber, expired subscriber, non-subscriber) is modeled with an enum rather than multiple boolean properties. The author focuses on implementing the enum and using switch-case for clear, maintainable code. Includes Swift code examples for defining the enum and a function to handle different subscriber statuses.
