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

I went through your codes and most probably the reason for the crash is you are trying to typecast an optional value which is not assigned

Now consider the line of code below

var cell : UITableViewCell = tableView.dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier("Cell") as UITableViewCell

When there are no cells in the tableview you are still trying to typecast as UITableView.When the compiler tries to typecast nil value you face this issue

The correct statement should be

var cell : UITableViewCell = tableView.dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier("Cell") 

You can use if else statement to typecast for values which holds
