How to just pass the businesses to the 'addAnnotations' method?

In this video, you ran into an issue where it was not working if you just passed the businesses to the addAnnotations method on the map. The business object does conform to the MKAnnotation protocol, so this should work, and would be a lot simpler than the solution that was used in the video. Has anyone determined how to make the first approach work?

For me it worked straight away with the first way of doing it (addAnnotation method) without having to implerment the second way that was shown , I don't know why it worked for me though?

In the video he accidentally typed longitude instead of latitude in the YelpBusiness extension, if you follow exactly what he typed, it won't work - but if you follow what he says, it should work fine!

// his original line
    var coordinate: CLLocationCoordinate2D {
        return CLLocationCoordinate2D(latitude: location.longitude, longitude: location.longitude)
    }
// how it should read
    var coordinate: CLLocationCoordinate2D {
        return CLLocationCoordinate2D(latitude: location.latitude, longitude: location.longitude)
    }

I wondered what his error was because it worked perfectly fine for me. That makes sense! Haha

Don't make the same mistake as I did when adding the annotations.

Apple as 2 methods defined. One has an "s" (annotations) accept an array of MKAnnotations And the other is not an arrays 

open func addAnnotation(_ annotation: MKAnnotation)

open func addAnnotations(_ annotations: [MKAnnotation])
