optional variable with ternary operator

Suresh_Kansujiya · 2017-05-08T07:36:45.000Z

Hey,

i am using ternary operator with optional variable. like below ex.

*var number:Int?**let result = number > 0 ? 1 : 2 *

*here i am getting this waring : comparison operators with optionals were
removed from the Swift Standard Library. Consider refactoring the code to
use the non-optional operators*
Note : i must need to use ternary operator for checking.

Regards

Well, you’re not allowed to compare optionals any more. You can try binding the value to an Int, so that it’s not an optional anymore:

if let number = number {
let result = number > 0 ? 1 : 2
}

Either way, you’ll have to decide what you think should happen when number is nil.

I believe this falls under "future directions" for comparison reform.

Here's an example of a short term solution: optionalequality.swift · GitHub

I wonder if it has ever been allowed? I am using Xcode and it never allows
that.
For you specific question, you can use

var number:Int?

let result = (number ?? -1) > 0 ? 1 : 2

This functionality was removed via SE-0121, back in the Swift 3 timeframe.
