[swift-users] The nil coalescing operator

[Valentin Radu]

Hello all,


I have a question re the nil coalescing operator. Shouldn’t 

print ("This machine's ip is \(result["ip"] ?? “unknown")”) 

return This machine's ip is 78.97.202.31 ? Since the value is always String, not String?.  However, it still surrounds the ip with Optional(). 

So I’m using, (result.0["ip"] ?? "nil").description but is long and dirty. Any thoughts? 

Cheers!
