Hello there,
Am trying to proceed with this project, so I've created a dictionary holding each player's information, I've also created a wholistic array filled with each player's dictionary, & then I've created an empty dictionaries for each team to start filling them by players.
however when I try to add to dictionaries to each other, I get compiler error
if I used the notion += between the two dictionaries I get this error:
Binary Operator "+=" cannot be applied to two [String : String] operands
while if I used the function extend or append, I get this error:
value of type '[String : String]' has no member 'extend' or value of type '[String : String]' has no member 'append'
I don't know how to merge two dictionaries or add them to each other?

var dict1 = ["Name": "Gary", "AnotherName": "Bob"]
var dict2 = ["Website": "TreeHouse"]
dict1.map { key, value in
dict2[key] = value
}
