New syntax in Xcode 12.5.


Alex Zavatone
 

I found out what the issue was.  The programmer didn’t add a self in front of variables that had the same name as the local that he was creating.   Xcode 12.4 reports an error until you add self in front of the properties.  Xcode 12.5 can handle 

The actual line looked more like this.

let myVar = myVar != someValue ? myVar : myOtherAssignment

It actually should be    

let myVar = self.myVar != someValue ? self.myVar : myOtherAssignment

Thanks.

1. myVar != someValue is the condition.

2. It determines whether the ternary expression evaluates to resultOne or resultTwo

3. resultOne or resultTwo is what is assigned in let myVar =

This seems like a standard use of the ternary conditional operator. I don’t have any problems compiling it in Xcode 12.4.

Are you referring to the ternary conditional operator, which has existed in Swift since the beginning, or to the fact that it creates a local variable with the same name (myVar) as a parameter or member (myVar)?

Swift sure is getting muddier and muddier with regards to visual comprehension.

Thanks in advance.
