Present and dismiss modal view controller

Question

Can anyone give me the example code that I can use to first present a modal view controller, then dismiss it? This is what I have been trying:

NSLog(@\"%@\",

Storyboard

Create two View Controllers with a button on each. For the second view controller, set the class name to SecondViewController and the storyboard ID to secondVC.

Code

ViewController.swift

import UIKit
class ViewController: UIViewController {

    @IBAction func presentButtonTapped(_ sender: UIButton) {
        
        let storyboard = UIStoryboard(name: "Main", bundle: nil)
        let myModalViewController = storyboard.instantiateViewController(withIdentifier: "secondVC")
        myModalViewController.modalPresentationStyle = UIModalPresentationStyle.fullScreen
        myModalViewController.modalTransitionStyle = UIModalTransitionStyle.coverVertical
        self.present(myModalViewController, animated: true, completion: nil)
    }
}

SecondViewController.swift

import UIKit
class SecondViewController: UIViewController {
    
    @IBAction func dismissButtonTapped(_ sender: UIButton) {
        self.dismiss(animated: true, completion: nil)
    }
}
