How to append an array in another array in Swift?

Question

I have a JSON response whose answer I have to parse. I write the single elements into an array called courseDataArray using a for loop. After that, I want to write this newly created array into another array called combinedCourseArray with the aim to pass that on to a UITableView. Creating the first array seems to work fine.

But how can I create another array combinedCourseArray who contain all arrays of type courseDataArray?

for (index, element) in result.enumerate() {

            // get one entry from the result array
            if let courseEntry = result[index] as? [String:AnyObject]{

                //work with the content of the array
                let courseName = courseEntry["name"]
                let courseType = courseEntry["course_type"]
                let courseDate = courseEntry["cor_date"]
                let courseId = courseEntry["cor_id"]
                let duration = courseEntry["duration"]
                let schoolId = courseEntry["sco_id"]
                let status = courseEntry["status"]


                let courseDataArray = ["courseName" : courseName, "courseType": courseType, "courseDate": courseDate, "courseId": courseId, "duration": duration, "schoolId":schoolId, "status":status]

                print(courseDataArray)

                var combinedCourseArray: [String: AnyObject] = [:]
                combinedCourseArray[0] = courseDataArray //does not work -- error: cannot subscript a value of type...

               // self.shareData.courseStore.append(scooter)

            }

Answer 1

You should move the combinedCourseArray declaration outside of the array. It should be var combinedCourseArray: [[String: AnyObject]] = [[:]] since it's an array and not a dictionary.

And you should be doing

combinedCourseArray.append(courseDataArray)

instead of

combinedCourseArray[0] = courseDataArray
