How can I unwrap a string in Swift to fix error?












-2















I am trying to make an app that the user selects an option from a tableview cell but I get the error:




Value of optional type 'String?' must be unwrapped to a value of type 'String'




I get the error on the 5th line and line 16, both about "unwrapping an optional type".



I've tried adding a ! and searching on the Internet, but I couldn't find any information that could help me fix the error.



func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> UITableViewCell {
let cell = tableView.dequeueReusableCell(withIdentifier: "cell", for: indexPath) as? DataTableViewCell
cell?.img.image = UIImage(named: arr[indexPath.row]["name"!])
cell?.lbl.text = arr[indexPath.row]["name"]
cell?.lbl2.text = arr[indexPath.row]["subject"]
cell?.lbl3.text = arr[indexPath.row]["grade"]
return cell!
}

func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, didSelectRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) {
let vc = storyboard?.instantiateViewController(withIdentifier: "DetailViewController") as? DetailViewController
vc?.str = arr[indexPath.row]["name"]
navigationController?.pushViewController(vc!, animated: true)

}


I expect the program to run without errors.

From Swift documentation




Swift also introduces optional types, which handle the absence of a value. Optionals say either “there is a value, and it equals x” or “there isn’t a value at all”.




How to fix, you have to learn Optional Chaining.
What you have done is called forced unwrapping.



I think you will get all of your answers here.
