I'm hoping someone could help me out with this exercise. I'm not entirely sure why this is failing.
enum ParserError: Error {
case emptyDictionary
case invalidKey
}
struct Parser {
var data: [String : String?]?
func parse() throws {
guard let newdata = data else {
throw ParserError.emptyDictionary
}
let keys = newdata.keys
for x in keys {
if keys.contains(x) {
if let data = newdata[x] {
//do something with data
}
}else {
throw ParserError.invalidKey
}
}
}
}
let data: [String : String?]? = ["someKey": nil]
let parser = Parser(data: data)

Here is an answer that may help you solve your problem !
enum ParserError: Error {
case emptyDictionary
case invalidKey
}
struct Parser {
var data: [String : String?]?
func parse() throws {
// Here we check for a condition
guard data?.isEmpty == false else {
throw ParserError.emptyDictionary
}
// Here we unwrap the keys, and then check for a condition,
guard let keys = data?.keys, keys.contains("someKey") else {
throw ParserError.invalidKey
}
}
}
let data: [String : String?]? = ["someKey": nil]
let parser = Parser(data: data)
When unwrapping an optional value, remember to create a temporary store property.
// example
guard let someProperty = someOptional else { return }
Hope this helps
Good luck
