6,811 PointsCompiler errors on failable initializer
I am getting compiler errors on this. I'm trying to copy emulate the code found here
at 4:35, but the compiler keeps giving me problems with the guard statement. I feel like this is a syntax error, but the errors keep recommending "where" statements, which I've never heard of, or use of the !, which the lesson explicitly instructed against using. So I'm a little lost. Any help at all would be appreciated. Thanks!
struct Book {
let title: String
let author: String
let price: String?
let pubDate: String?
init?(dict: [String: String]) {
guard let self.title = dict["title"], self.author = dict["author"] else {
return nil
}
self.price = dict["price"]
self.pubDate = dict["pubDate"]
}
}
