How to append values to array of type [[String:String]] in Swift

Question

I'm working with this kind of array.

var myArray : [[String:String]] = [["1" : "Arun", "2" : "Gupta"],["1" : "John", "2" : "Cena"],["1" : "James" , "2" : "Bond"],["1" : "Iron", "2" : "Man"],["1" : "Karthik","2" : "Keyan"]]

I could assign values directly to this array and access the values through object. For example,

To access values in index zero.

let obj = myArray[0]
print(obj["1"],obj["2"])

it prints values in myArray[0]

Output:

Arun Gupta.

Now what i want is, how to append values to this kind of array instead of directly assigning values in the declaration itself.

yes, and how this array must be declared ? 'var myArray : [[String:String]] ' is this right ? — Karthikeyan Sk

you can just declare like var myArray = [[String:String]]() — Bhavin Bhadani

It works only after including this '()' parentheses. Thanks!. i wonder why this kind of array requires this parentheses ? — Karthikeyan Sk

@KarthikeyanSk You can also use var myArray: [[String: String]] = [] to initialize your array. — d.felber

Try this :

var array1 = ["1" : "Arun", "2" : "Gupta"]

myArray.append(array1)

Should the declaration be like this ' var myArray : [[String:String]] '

Try append()

var myArray = [[String:String]]()
myArray.append(["1" : "Arun", "2" : "Gupta"])
print(myArray)
