Now that you have good error handling code, let's call the parse method. Remember that since this is a throwing function

Stuck on this question, need some expert guidance.

error.swift
enum ParserError: ErrorType {
  case EmptyDictionary
  case InvalidKey
}

struct Parser {
  var data: [String : String?]?

  func parse() throws {
        guard let parsedData = data else {
            throw ParserError.EmptyDictionary
        }
        guard parsedData.keys.contains("someKey") else {
            throw ParserError.InvalidKey
        }
  }
}

let data: [String : String?]? = ["someKey": nil]
let parser = Parser(data: data)
do {
    let parser = try Parser(data: data)
    parser.parse()
} catch ParserError.EmptyDictionary {

}

You're missing the "try" keyword. You need it because the "parse()" method "throws".

enum ParserError: ErrorType {
  case EmptyDictionary
  case InvalidKey
}

struct Parser {
  var data: [String : String?]?

  func parse() throws {
        guard let parsedData = data else {
            throw ParserError.EmptyDictionary
        }
        guard parsedData.keys.contains("someKey") else {
            throw ParserError.InvalidKey
        }
  }
}

let data: [String : String?]? = ["someKey": nil]
let parser = Parser(data: data)
do {
    let parser = try Parser(data: data)
   try parser.parse()
} catch ParserError.EmptyDictionary {

}
