Below is Objective-c Code.
I need this method in Swift, how can I write in Swift4?
I'm new to swift, please help.
-(NSMutableArray)dataArray
{
if(!_dataArray)
{
_dataArray = [NSMutableArray new];
}
return _dataArray;
}
#property(nonatomic,strong) NSMutableArray *dataArray;

The above method you used in Objective-C is to initialise the memory to dataArray when it is being used. It is generally used to minimise memory consumption.
In swift, this process is being handled by lazily instantiated properties, by putting a keyword lazy before the property. It will allocate the memory to property only when it is firstly being used.
lazy var dataArray = [String]()
Note: In swift, use swift based array rather than NSArray/ NSMutableArray
If you want some customisation to your dataArray, you can do it like:
lazy var dataArray: [String] = {
var temp = [String]()
temp.append("John Doe")
return temp
}()

I am trying keep track of previously selected row index of tableview inside sideMenu.
Here is a simple and reliable solution. Use the willSet property observer to keep track of the previous value of a variable.
var previousSelectedIndex: IndexPath?
var selectedIndex: IndexPath? {
willSet {
previousValue = selectedIndex
}
}
Use the selectedIndex variable to keep track of the current selected index which you can get from your didSelect delegate.
var previousSelectedIndex = 0
var currentSelectedIndex = 0 {
didSet {
print("===>current", currentSelectedIndex)
print("===>previous", previousSelectedIndex)
}
willSet {
previousSelectedIndex = self.currentSelectedIndex
}
explanation: didSet and willSet is property Observer in swift
didset is use to get current value of variable and will set is use to get previous value of variable .

I am getting the below error. My app is crashing for this reason.
Could not cast value of type '__NSSingleEntryDictionaryI' (0x1015f8210) to 'NSMutableDictionary'
All I am doing is :
var tempDict = self.arrayData.object(at: indexPath.row) as!
NSMutableDictionary
I have checked the others answers on stack but unfortunately they were not helpful for me.
Can anybody suggest me why this is happening?
Any help would be higgle appreciated!!
Simply do not use mutable Foundation collection types (NSMutable..) at all in Swift. They are not related to the Swift counterparts and you cannot cast an collection object to NSMutable...
Declare arrayData as native Swift array of dictionaries
var arrayData = [[String:Any]]()
and change the line to get the dictionary to
var tempDict = self.arrayData[indexPath.row]
Less code, no type cast and tempDict is mutable with the var keyword.
Dictionary denotes with {} and Array denotes with [] // In printed response you may have array with ()
So, your tempDict part is Array of Dictionary...You have to parse it like
var tempDict = self.arrayData.object(at: indexPath.row) as! [[String : Any]]
although please not use force unwrap .. either use if let or guard statement
if let tempDict = self.arrayData.object(at: indexPath.row) as! [[String : Any]]
{
// do something
}
else
{
// catch the error
}

How dynamically initialise object in Swift 3 [closed]

I use below line of code to allocate an Object(Suppose my Object name is Car) dynamically.
[self initliazieObject:[Car class]]
- (id)initliazieObject:(Class)model{
id record = [[model alloc] init];
return record;
}
How I can do this in swift 3.
Exactly as in Objective-C. Try this in a playground:
class Car : NSObject {}
func factory(type:NSObject.Type) -> NSObject {
return type.init()
}
let c = factory(type:Car.self)
print(type(of:c)) // Car
(We can get fancy and do clever things with generics or Self to specify the type of the returned object more precisely, but my goal in this code is simply to do things the dumb way, just like Objective-C.)

Why call .self on cell class parameter when creating Table View Cells? [closed]

Why can't I just have TodayTableViewCell instead of TodayTableViewCell.self?
private let reuseIdentifier = "Cell"
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
tableView.registerClass(TodayTableViewCell.self, forCellReuseIdentifier: reuseIdentifier)
}
TableView's registerClass method expects an argument of type AnyObject.Type. You should pass a value of the cell's type.
From Apple's documentation:
You can use the postfix self expression to access a type as a value.
For example, SomeClass.self returns SomeClass itself, not an instance
of SomeClass

I am in an iOS course and came across this error while making my app:
import Foundation
import UIKit
class RootsCateogry1: ViewController {
#IBOutlet weak var roots1Label: UILabel!
var rootsWeek1 = ["acro", "micro"]
var rootsWeek1Meaning = ["Air", "Small"]
var roots1Show = []
var temp = rootsWeek1.count // error here
var p = 0
var i = 0
while(i<temp){ // error here
roots1Show.append(rootsWeek1temp)
temp++
}
// ...
}
Screenshot
temp is a computed property, not a compile-time constant. You either need to override its getter or place it in your init or viewDidLoad:
var temp: Int {
return rootsWeek1.count
}
or:
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
var temp = rootsWeek1.count
}
Your while loop must go in a function, it cannot exist at the class level. Consider moving that to your viewDidLoad as well. You are also not declaring a variable named rootsWeek1temp before adding it to roots1Show, so the compiler won't know what to append to the array if the object does not exist.
