Count Annotations on MapView in Swift

-1

After completing a loop that places annotations on a map from an array, I want to count the number of annotations.

My code as follows:

let anCount = self.mapView.annotations?.count

            if (anCount > 1) {

//do something

            }

gives error:

Value of optional type 'Int?' must be unwrapped to a value of type
'Int'

The fixit suggestions yield other errors. What is the correct way to count the number of annotations for the map.

Thanks for any suggestions.

By the way, be careful of just counting at annotations because there might be different types of annotations. E.g., including or excluding the user location on the map (which results in a system generated MKUserLocation to be added on your behalf) will suddenly change this logic. You really should filter the results for annotations of a particular type...

You have to unwrap the optional, e.g. with if let, which you can then combine with the > 1 test in a single if statement:

if let anCount = mapView.annotations?.count, anCount > 1 {

    //do something

}

But annotations isn't an optional (at least in current iOS versions), so you'd probably just do:

let anCount = mapView.annotations.count

if anCount > 1 {

    //do something

}

Thanks for the answer which worked but did you downvote my question cause I took too long to respond? I had a lot going on. In theory, optionals should be simple, but in practice if you are still learning them, each case can be different.

No, I did not down vote. I was merely suggesting that you research more before posting a question. If you are going to post a question that has been asked before, it’s good to include references of a question or two to demonstrate that you did research it.
