UITableView in Swift

Question

I\'m struggling to figure out what\'s wrong with this code snippet. This is currently working in Objective-C, but in Swift this just crashes on the first line of the method.

Answer 1

There's a few answers here, but I don't think any of them are ideal, because after the declaration you're ending up with an optional UITableViewCell, which then needs a cell!... in any declarations. I think this is a better approach (I can confirm this compiles on Xcode 6.1):

var cell:UITableViewCell

if let c = tableView.dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier("cell") as? UITableViewCell {
    cell = c
}
else {
    cell = UITableViewCell()
}
