Generics Swift 3 - Task 5 of 5

Cannot get the last part of this challenge to pass

generics.swift 
struct Queue<Element> {
    //Task 1
    var array: [Element] = []

    //Task 2
    var isEmpty: Bool {
        if array.count == 0 {
            return true
        } else {
            return false
        }
    }

    var count: Int {
        return array.count
    }

    public mutating func enqueue(_ element: Element){
        array.append(element)
    }

    public mutating func dequeue() -> Element? {
        guard array.isEmpty, let element = array.first else { return nil }

        return element
    }
}

I struggled with this last challenge as well. Here is a solution I just found in the forums that worked. 

mutating func dequeue() -> Element? {
        if self.array.isEmpty == false {
            return self.array.remove(at: 0)
        } else {
            return nil
        }
    }

Thanks Robert I figured it out with the below

  public mutating func dequeue() -> Element? {
        guard array.isEmpty, let element = array.first else { return nil }

        array.remove(at: 0)

        return element
    }
