15,337 PointsDownloaded project doesn't work
After I download the project, it shows that there are some places that needs to unwrap an optional. And I won't let me run if I don't force unwrap it. So I did force unwrap it, and after that, the app crashes, saying that it found nil while unwrapping an optional. I changed it back, and there is an error. Can somebody give me the right program.

Basically you need to unwrap an optional before using it, however the whole concept of optional is that the value can be nil. in such cases you can check the value to see if its nil before force unwrapping like following
if xyz != nil {
//Do Something
}
Again without the code it is hard to understand the problem.
