How do I store CGPoint in a Dictionary?

Question

So I am trying to store some info in my NSDictionary and I need to store a CGPoint value. I am trying something like this:

var dict = ["name" : "john", "age" : 20, "coords": (5, 10)]

Doesn't work unfortunately. How do I store it (so I can call it dict["coords"])?

Your problem is that coords is not declared. I guess you meant "coords".

Forgot the parenthesis in my question, but I do have them in my code ;) – eternalnoob Jan 01 '15 at 12:11

You can do something like this :

var dict:[String:Any] = ["name" : "john", "age" : 20, "coords": (5, 10)]

println(dict["coords"])

Now I have problems with downcasting from Any lol. – eternalnoob Jan 01 '15 at 12:18
Use `CGPointMake(5, 10)` instead of `(5, 10)` so you can cast the value as `CGPoint`. – findall Jan 01 '15 at 12:26
