Swift Array Index Out of Range and Nil Values

I have a JSON get request where I retrieve information about four users and then load four views with their pictures, names, etc.



I also have a function where the user can tap on those views and view more information about them.



However, I need to make sure that the array (randomFour) containing the four users contains actual information for the view they are selecting and is not nil.



I attempted to do this by counting the indexes of the array, but for some reason it isn't preventing it from going through and then crashes because the values are nil.



@objc func loadWriteView(sender: UITapGestureRecognizer) {
if sender.view == a_view || sender.view == a_pic && randomFour.count >= 1 {
setupCardWrite(user: randomFour[0])
} else if sender.view == b_view || sender.view == b_pic && randomFour.count >= 2 {
setupCardWrite(user: randomFour[1])
} else if sender.view == c_view || sender.view == c_pic && randomFour.count >= 3 {
setupCardWrite(user: randomFour[2])
} else if sender.view == d_view || sender.view == d_pic && randomFour.count >= 4 {
setupCardWrite(user: randomFour[3])
}
}


As you can see, I check that the count is greater than a certain value, but then I still sometimes receive this error:



Thread 1: Fatal error: Index out of range


And when inspecting I see:



randomFour = ([Compliments.User]) 0 values  


How can I make sure that the users have been loaded properly?

Please try using brackets around the first two conditions



if (sender.view == a_view || sender.view == a_pic) && randomFour.count >= 1

  • Ok, thank you. I will try that. Shouldn't the brackets have no effect though?

    @LeviK Without the parentheses, this particular statement is treated as if you wrote if sender.view == a_view || (sender.view == a_pic && randomFour.count >= 1) which is clearly not what you intended. Whenever you have a mix of || and && in an expression, always use parentheses to avoid any ambiguity.
