To get the value associated with a key in a dictionary in Swift, you can use the subscript syntax or the `Dictionary`'s `get` method with optional binding to handle cases where the key might not exist.
We can get the value associated with a key in a dictionary in Swift using the subscript syntax. This example demonstrates how to retrieve the value for a specific key and print it.
For example,
myDictionary
with integer keys and string values.var myDictionary: [Int: String] = [
1: "One",
2: "Two",
3: "Three"
]
// Key to get the value for
let keyToGet = 2
// Get the value associated with the key
if let value = myDictionary[keyToGet] {
print("The value associated with key \(keyToGet) is '\(value)'.")
} else {
print("The key \(keyToGet) does not exist in the dictionary.")
}
The value associated with key 2 is 'Two'.
We can get the value associated with a key in a dictionary in Swift using optional binding with `if let`. This example demonstrates how to safely retrieve the value for a specific key and print it if it exists.
For example,
myDictionary
with integer keys and string values.var myDictionary: [Int: String] = [
1: "One",
2: "Two",
3: "Three"
]
// Key to get the value for
let keyToGet = 4
// Try to get the value associated with the key using optional binding
if let value = myDictionary[keyToGet] {
print("The value associated with key \(keyToGet) is '\(value)'.")
} else {
print("The key \(keyToGet) does not exist in the dictionary.")
}
The key 4 does not exist in the dictionary.
