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++
}
// ...
}

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.
