OK, I just tried testing this code in my app and a Swift playground. I also
tried a variation on the initializer just for the heck of it. I get the
following error:
class Test<T>
{
var array:[T] = []
var array2 = [T]()
init() {
var temp = self.array as NSArray
var temp2 = self.array2 as NSArray
}
}
error: cannot convert value of type '[T]' to type 'NSArray' in coercion
var temp = self.array as NSArray
~~~~~^
error: cannot convert value of type '[T]' to type 'NSArray' in coercion
var temp2 = self.array2 as NSArray
~~~~~^
Are there restrictions on what can be converted to NSArray?
