Using UISlider for updating Strings in a Label rather than a Int/Double etc

Question

Im trying to get a UISlider to give me String values based on its position within the, "slide bar" shall we say.

What I am looking for is if the Int value of the Slider is 1 then the textLabel will be "Daily" as per below:

1 = "Daily"
2 = "Weekly"
3 = "Monthly"
4 = "Quarterly"
5 = "Annually"

I know it would be easier to use the UIPicker but in all honesty it will ruin the design of the app :(

here is my code so far... Note* I have put both the Outlet & Action.

@IBAction func durationAction(_ sender: UISlider) {

    durationLabel.text = "\(Int(durationSlider.value))"

if durationSlider.value == 1
{
    self.durationLabel.text = "Daily"
}
if durationSlider.value == 2
{
    self.durationLabel.text = "Weekly"
}
if durationSlider.value == 3
{
    self.durationLabel.text = "Monthly"
}
if durationSlider.value == 4
{
    self.durationLabel.text = "Quarterly"
}
if durationSlider.value == 5
{
    self.durationLabel.text = "Annually"
}

The above code only gives me the first and last positions. Which clearly means im doing something wrong.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. - Thanks guys.

The values of the slider are Floats. You should round them to the nearest Int before checking. If you put your Strings into an array, you could select them directly.

@IBAction func durationAction(_ sender: UISlider) {
    let intervals = ["Daily", "Weekly", "Monthly", "Quarterly", "Annually"]
    self.durationLabel.text = intervals[Int(sender.value.rounded()) - 1]
}
