Cannot assign a value of type String to type UITextField

Question

I have a problem with my code:

var pwd = "okok"
@IBAction func SendPwd(sender: AnyObject) {

    if CreatePassWord = pwd {
        self.performSegueWithIdentifier("segue", sender: nil)

    }

When I do this I get the error below:

Cannot assign a value of type String to type UITextField with the " if CreatePassWord = pwd " line...

Any help would be appreciated.

Answer 1

Because a UITextField is not a String. Set it's text property (which is a String) instead of the UITextField itself.

if CreatePassWord.text == pwd {
    self.performSegueWithIdentifier("segue", sender: nil)

}

EDIT: Since you're likely doing comparison, not assignment, you want to compare the two strings, not assign pwd to the UITextfield.
