I think I understand how optionals work in Swift, but sometimes I fail to see the logic, and I can't derive it from the docs either, so I hope someone can help me here.
The issue is this: I have a class declared as follows:
class Person {
let firstName:String!
let lastName:String!
init(firstName:String!,lastName:String!) {
self.firstName = firstName
self.lastName = lastName
}
}
Next I instantiate the class and use it (code can be simplified but I just pulled what my app is doing without showing all the boilerplate around it, so please don't suggest me how to optimize this):
let myPerson = Person.init("First","Last")
var aSecondPerson:Person!
...
aSecondPerson = myPerson
let someString = "\(aSecondPerson.firstName) \(aSecondPerson.lastName)"
Now I would assume the contents of someString to be First Last but instead it is: Optional("First") Optional("Last")
Why is it still considering the values as optional considering the amount of ! used all over the place?
