Swift: Get the Number of Keys In a Dictionary

Question

For swift arrays, we can simply use the count property to find out how many elements are in the collection. However, we can't do the same for dictionary keys. Is the only way to do this to use a for loop and counter?

var myDict:  [String: AnyObject] = // ... intialize dictionary with keys and values

myDict.keys.count // doesn't work

Answer 1

字典上有一个 count 属性，所以myDict.count会起作用。

Answer 2

Why not simply use the count property on myDict ?

myDict.count

Answer 3

Swift 4

Dictionary has a inbuilt count property.

For the number of elements in myDict Dictionary, you can call

myDict.count
