init?(fromDictionary dictionary: Dictionary<String,String>) {
guard let initTitle = dictionary["title"], let initAuthor = dictionary["author"] else {
return nil
}
title = initTitle
author = initAuthor
if let initPrice = dictionary["price"], let initPubDate = dictionary["pubDate"] {
price = initPrice
pubDate = initPubDate
}
}

struct Book {
let title: String
let author: String
let price: String?
let pubDate: String?
init?(dict: [String : String]) {
if dict["title"] == nil {return nil}
if dict["author"] == nil {return nil}
self.title = dict["title"]!
self.author = dict["author"]!
self.price = dict["price"]
self.pubDate = dict["pubDate"]
}
}
