iOS Build a Playlist Browser with Swift Building the Music Library and Playlist Models Struct Initialization

Struct Initialization Video - Error with "largeIcon" and "assets +="

Hi there... I'm getting the following errors when creating the Playlist.swift file as shown in the Struct Initialization video.

With the "largeIcon" code as shown below, I'm getting the error message "Use of unresolved identifier "largeIcon".

With the "artists" code as shown below, I'm getting the error message "Binary operator cannot be applied to operands of type '[String]' and String!"

Any ideas?? Thanks, Ryan

Please see Playlist.swift code below... // // Playlist.swift // Algorhythm //

import Foundation import UIKit

struct Playlist { var title: String? var description: String? var icon: UIImage? var largeicon: UIImage? var artists: [String] = [] var backgroundColor: UIColor = UIColor.clearColor()

//passes an index value to the array and so we can access the data
init(index: Int) {
    let musicLibrary = MusicLibrary().Library
    let playlistDictionary = musicLibrary[index]

    title = playlistDictionary["title"] as? String!
    description = playlistDictionary["description"] as! String!

    let iconName = playlistDictionary["icon"] as! String!
    icon = UIImage(named: iconName)

    let largeIconName = playlistDictionary["largeIcon"] as! String!
    largeIcon = UIImage(named: largeIconName)

    artists += playlistDictionary["artists"] as! String!

}

}

I found the solution by performing a clean and build. Then entering the same code and it worked this time with no errors.

+= is not still working at me how did you solve it ?

at here you forget to use [ ] to last String key even i wrote it same with video it says; Variable 'self.artists' passed by reference before being initialized
