Swift: Type of Expression is ambiguous without more context?

Question

After I query the Parse database I get an error with the following code:

if error == nil {
            // The find succeeded.
            print("Successfully retrieved \(objects!.count) zip codes.", terminator: "")
            // Do something with the found objects
            if let zipCodes = objects! as? [PFObject] {
                if zipCodes.contains({ $0["Zipcode"] as? Int32 == usersZipCode}) { **<-----THIS IS WHERE THE ERROR IS**
                    print("your in!") // transition to the new screen
                    self.performSegueWithIdentifier("beginSignUp", sender: self)
                }
                else {
                    self.messageLabelNotAvail.text = "Unfortunately, Patch is not available in your area or you have not typed in a correct US Zip Code."
                }
            }
        } else {
            // Log details of the failure
            print("Error: \(error!) \(error!.userInfo)", terminator: "")
        }
    }
}

If i replace Int32 to String, it works fine.. But my Zipcode in my parse database is a Number not a String. What am I doing wrong?

Answer 1

Instead of:

if zipCodes.contains({ $0["Zipcode"] as? Int32 == usersZipCode}) { 
   //Rest of Code
}

Try:

if let target = Int32(usersZipCode) 
   where zipCodes.contains({ $0["Zipcode"] as? Int32 == target}) { 
     //Rest of Code
}

Clarification: You can't compare things of different types in Swift. The reason it works when you cast to String but breaks when you cast to Int32 seems to be that usersZipCode is of String type.
