Swift optional binding with tuples

Question

I\'m trying to use a tuple as an optional binding in an IF statement in Swift but it won\'t compile and that error message is less than helpful. Why doesn\'t the following

Answer 1

You have to use a switch as the other answer points out. However, if you're only going to check both values, an if without Optional Binding is actually shorter and easier-to-read.

if (user != nil && pass != nil) {
    print("this works: \(user!), \(pass!)")
}

The switch is goofy and hard-to-read (taken from other answer), but if you're going to use the other cases (nil-some, some-nil, nil-nil) then it might be worth it.

switch (user, pass) {
    case let (.Some(user), .Some(pass)): print("this works: \(user), \(pass)")
    default: ()
}
