How to input currency format on a text field (from right to left) using Swift?

Question

I have a number let’s say 0.00.

• When the user taps 1. We should have 0.01
• When the user taps 2. We should display 0.

Just for fun: copied Thomas's answer (full credits -and points- to him please) into a file to run as a Swift 4.1 script (with minor fixes):

dotnum.swift:

#!/usr/bin/swift

struct DotNum {
    private var fraction:String = ""
    private var intval:String = ""
    init() {}
    mutating func enter(_ s:String) {
        if fraction.count < 2 {
          fraction = s + fraction
        } else {
          intval = s + intval
        }
    }
    private var sFract:String {
        if fraction.count == 0 { return "00" }
        if fraction.count == 1 { return "0\(fraction)" }
        return fraction
    }
    var stringVal:String {
        if intval == ""  { return "0.\(sFract)" }
        return "\(intval).\(sFract)"
    }
}

var val = DotNum()
val.enter("1")
print(val.stringVal)
val.enter("2")
print(val.stringVal)
val.enter("3")
print(val.stringVal)
val.enter("4")
print(val.stringVal)

Then run it in a terminal:

$ chmod +x dotnum.swift
$ ./dotnum.swift
0.01
0.21
