Since Array is a generic struct, the compiler needs know which type to use as the generic parameter.
What I think is do something like this below
let array:Array<Int> = [1,2,3,4,5]
let dictionary:[String:Any] = ["numbers":array]
if let value = dictionary["numbers"] {
let type = value.dynamicType
print(type)
if let numbers = value as? Array<Int> {
print(numbers + [99])
}
else if let numbers = value as? Array<String> {
print(numbers + ["99"])
}
}
Thanks, Jordan. Is there any other way to do that?

Zhaoxin,
You are trying to cast to a type which is defined by a variable at runtime.
Casting with `as` is done at compile-time. The variable has no defined value at this time.
The compiler cannot infer what the value of a variable is going to be.
It can only infer types by static analysis.
Regards
Johan

As you can see, the dynamic casting leads an error. Is there a way to do this? Thanks.Zhaoxin
