I am getting an error message for my use of nil and I am confused on how to properly unwrap the optional while placing it in an if statement to print out a string.
struct DatingProfile{
var Name: String
var Age: Int
var City: String
var FavoriteMovie: String?
var Hobbies: String?
}
let myDatingProfile = DatingProfile(Name: "William", Age: 30, City: "North Hollywood", FavoriteMovie: nil , Hobbies: "Basketball")
if let myFavoriteMovie = FavoriteMovie = nil{
print("\\(Name) does not have a favorite movie")
}else {
print(myDatingProfile.FavoriteMovie)
}
}
exit status 1 main.swift:12:26: error: use of unresolved identifier 'FavoriteMovie' if let myFavoriteMovie = FavoriteMovie = nil{ ^~~~~~~~~~~~~ main.swift:13:12: error: use of unresolved identifier 'Name' print("\(Name) does not have a favorite movie") ^~~~ main.swift:17:11: warning: expression implicitly coerced from 'String?' to 'Any' print(myDatingProfile.FavoriteMovie) ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ main.swift:17:27: note: provide a default value to avoid this warning print(myDatingProfile.FavoriteMovie) ~~~~ ?? <#default value#> main.swift:17:27: note: force-unwrap the value to avoid this warning print(myDatingProfile.FavoriteMovie) ~~~~^ ! main.swift:17:27: note: explicitly cast to 'Any' with 'as Any' to silence this warning print(myDatingProfile.FavoriteMovie) ~~~~^ as Any main.swift:20:1: error: extraneous '}' at top level } ^^
