@eskimo @Polyphonic UPDATE: here is my updated code that some of you were requesting. I have the updated methods implemented but im getting the error "Cannot convert return expression of type 'Double' to return type 'String?'"
import Foundation
class RAMUsage {
let processInfo = ProcessInfo.processInfo
func getRAM() {
let physicalMemory = processInfo.physicalMemory
let formatter = ByteCountFormatter()
formatter.countStyle = .memory
let formattedMemoryUsage = formatter.string(fromByteCount: Int64(physicalMemory))
parseAndPrint(formattedMemoryUsage: formattedMemoryUsage)
}
func parseAndPrint(formattedMemoryUsage: String) {
print("Formatted RAM usage: \(formattedMemoryUsage)")
if let gigsOfRAM = parseFormattedRAMUsage(formattedUsage: formattedMemoryUsage) {
print("RAM Usage in Gigabytes: \(gigsOfRAM) GB")
} else {
print("Could not retrieve or parse RAM usage")
}
}
func parseFormattedRAMUsage(formattedUsage: String) -> Double? {
let scanner = Scanner(string: formattedUsage)
var value: Double = 0.0
var unit: NSString?
if let scannedValue = scanner.scanDouble(representation: .decimal) {
value = scannedValue
func scanCharacters(from set: CharacterSet) -> String? {
if let unitString = unit as String?, unitString.lowercased() == "GB" {
print("Parsed RAM Usage: \(value) GB")
return value
} else {
print("could not parse and return value")
}
}
return nil
}
}
}
