[swift-users] Why can I not filter or map a dictionary to another dictionary?

[Vincent O'Sullivan]

You can.  You just need to get the syntax right:

let smallerDictionary = bigDictionary.filter { (key, value) in <some test returning Bool> }

let bd = [1:"A", 2:"B", 3:"C"]
let sd = bd.filter{(k, v) in
    k > 1}
dump(sd)

    It seems fairly natural to want to do this:
    
    let bigDictionary = ...
    let smallerDictionary = bigDictionary.filter { key, value in <some test returning Bool> }
    
    Similarly, it seems natural to want to map this way.
    
    Am I overlooking something?
