Why does implicitly unwrapped optional not unwrap in dictionary of type [String : Any]

Question

If I have an implicitly unwrapped optional declared in my class which I then reference in a Dictionary of type [String : Any], it doesn\'t get unwr

Answer 1

When you define a dictionary of type

let dictionary = [String:Any]()

you can put anything in this dictionary

like

 dictionary["name"] = "xyz"

and

 dictionary["code"] = 123

while in

let dictionary = [String:String]()

you can only put an only string value

that's why you have to unwrap value when you are accessing the value because it can be anyting
