Comparing Strings in Swift

Question

I am using the following code to compare two strings and show a different image depending on the comparison:

let sameQuotation = "0"
        if prioridad == sameQuotation {
            print("es 0-")
            let image11 = UIImage(named: "pri0") as UIImage?
        }


        let sameQuotation1 = "1"
        if prioridad == sameQuotation1 {
            print("es 1-")
            let image11 = UIImage(named: "pri1") as UIImage?
        }

The "print" action is done perfectly, but the image doesn't change.

I am new to Swift and may be there is something wrong with my code.

Thank you.

It's not changing because you're redeclaring image11 within each conditional. Change let image11 = ... to image11 = ... to access what I assume is a previously declared version of image11, ex:

if prioridad == sameQuotation {
    print("es 0-")
    image11 = UIImage(named: "pri0") as UIImage?
}


let sameQuotation1 = "1"
if prioridad == sameQuotation1 {
    print("es 1-")
    image11 = UIImage(named: "pri1") as UIImage?
}
