SwiftHow to Use Optionals Safely
Handle missing values without crashes.
Steps
- Paste the code into a Swift file or playground.
- Run it once to verify the output.
- Adjust the inputs to match your use case.
Copy and paste
import Foundation
let nickname: String? = "Ace"
if let name = nickname {
print("Nickname: (name)")
} else {
print("No nickname")
}Notes
- Keep functions small and focused for reuse.
- Prefer safe APIs like optionals and guards.
