What you'll create
Portfolio projects that showcase your new skills
Block Letters
Display your initials on the screen in block letters and create an ASCII art.
Dog Years
Dogs have ages that don't quite work like ours. This can be a little ruff when you want to know how old your dog would be if he/she is a human. Don't fret — build a dog-age-converting program to translate your dog's age into human years!
Quadratic Formula
Write a Swift program that solves the quadratic equation.
