swift1-2

Swift 1.2 I'm trying to pattern match in a switch case in a function that take a type Any as it's parameter, in order to dispatch to a private more specialize init. Here is a Playground extrapolation : import Foundation struct myStruct { } func switchOnAny(any: Any) -> String { println("Dynamic Type == \(any.dynamicType)") switch any { case let array as [Any]: return "Array" case let array as NSArray: return "NSArray" default: return "Default" } } let emptyStringArray : [String] = [] let stringArray : [String] = ["Bob", "Roger"] let intArray = [1, 2, 3] let customStructArray : [myStruct] = []
