Add variables to array declared before if else in swift - arrays

Question

Im trying hard to learn ios development and have followed a guide to build a simple quiz app. I'm trying to connect the app to database by parsing from json.
Everything is working fine regarding that part. I now want to add the variables created from json into an array.
I have declared the array before let task:
var spormslaArray = []
I want to add questions to the array inside the task, something like this:
var question[] = [id, questionItself, answer1, answer2, answer3, answer4, correctAnswerJson]
spormslaArray.append(question)
I'm getting these errors..
App/ViewController.swift:127:41: Consecutive statements on a line must be separated by ';'
App/ViewController.swift:129:29: Implicit use of 'self' in closure; use 'self.' to make capture semantics explicit
The task:
The task:
let task = session.dataTaskWithURL(url, completionHandler: { (data, response, error) -> Void in
if error != nil {
// If there is an error in the web request, print it to the console
println(error.localizedDescription)
}
else {
var err: NSError?
var jsonResult = NSJSONSerialization.JSONObjectWithData(data, options: NSJSONReadingOptions.MutableContainers, error: &err) as NSDictionary
if err != nil {
// If there is an error parsing JSON, print it to the console
println("JSON Error \(err!.localizedDescription)")
}
else {
let questions=jsonResult["data"] as? [[String:String]]
if (questions != nil) {
for question in questions! {
questionNummer += 1
let answer1=question["answerOne"]!
let answer2=question["answerTwo"]!
let answer3=question["answerThree"]!
let answer4=question["answerFour"]!
let id=question["id"]!
let questionItself=question["questionTemplate"]!
let correctAnswerJson=question["correctAnswer"]!
println(id, questionItself, answer1, answer2, answer3, answer4, correctAnswerJson)
var question[] = [id, questionItself, answer1, answer2, answer3, answer4, correctAnswerJson]
spormslaArray.append(question)
}
}
}
}
})
task.resume()
Questions are hardcoded this way :
let questionSeven = questionTemplate("lol", answerOne: "av ormer (worms)", answerTwo: "virus infeksjon", answerThree: "installeres av en Trojaner eller en 'datasnik'", answerFour: "Bot aktivitet", correctAnswer: 3)
Then added to the array
spormslaArray = [questionOne, questionTwo, questionThree, questionFour, questionFive, questionSix,questionSeven]
Then sent to a function to set up questions:
func questionTemplate(question:String, answerOne:String, answerTwo:String, answerThree:String, answerFour:String, correctAnswer:Int) -> NSArray {
//Set the question
var quizQuestion = question
//set the answers and the right answer
var firstAnswer = answerOne
var secondAnswer = answerTwo
var thirdAnswer = answerThree
var fourthAnswer = answerFour
var rightAnswer = correctAnswer
var gjennverendeSporsmal = 1
//Add all the questions and answers to an array
let questionAnswerArray = [question, firstAnswer, secondAnswer, thirdAnswer, fourthAnswer, rightAnswer]
return questionAnswerArray
}
I'm sure there is a easy noob-thing I'm missing. Do any of you see my mistake?

Answer 1

You need to declare it as
var spormslaArray = [AnyObject]()
The trailing brackets indicate that you want to instantiate it. Just using [] will make it of type NSArray which is non-mutating. Instead of AnyObject you should use the actual type you want to put in. In your case it's some array again. You can do that by declaring that type like
typealias MySpecialArray = [AnyObject] // or whatever is inside, maybe String
and then use that
var spormslaArray = [MySepcialArray]()
You get the idea once you use it.
