Cannot invoke “+=” with an argument list of type (Int, @value Int)

Question

I have a class Transaction which has a var amount of type Int. I want to access it from another class, where I have an array of Transactions and sum all of their amounts.

So I have this piece of code

func computeTotal()-> Int{
    let total = 0
    for transaction in transactions{
        //get the amounts of each and sum all of them up
        total += transaction.amount
    }
    return total
}

But it gives me an error

Cannot invoke "+=" with an argument list of type (Int, @value Int)

What can cause that? I know that in Swift both operands must be the same type, but they are both of type Int in my code.

Answer 1

let creates an immutable value. You need to use var, like:

func computeTotal()-> Int{
    var total = 0
    for transaction in transactions{
        //get the amounts of each and sum all of them up
        total += transaction.amount
    }
    return total
}
