Add Uitextfield text to an array

Question

Oops, I know it may seem simple, but I’m having trouble picking up the typed text on Uitextfield and pressing the include button on an array, but I’m not getting it. Someone can help me?

 var listaDeNomes: [String]?
 @IBOutlet weak var inserirNomesTF: UITextField!
 @IBAction func IncludePlayer(_ sender: Any) {
    if inserirNomesTF.text == ""{
        print("pelo menos 5 caracteres")
    }else {
       listaDeNomes.append(inserirNomesTF.text)
    }
  }

If anyone can help me, I’d appreciate it

The code has two problems:

1. The array is not instantiated, you cannot add anything to it;
2. You’re not handling options correctly.

Try something like this:

import UIKit

class ViewController: UIViewController {
    
    var listaDeNomes: [String]? = []
    
    @IBOutlet weak var inserirNomesTF: UITextField!
    
    @IBAction func IncludePlayer(_ sender: Any) {
        
        if inserirNomesTF.text!.count < 5{
            
            print("pelo menos 5 caracteres")
            
        }else {

            listaDeNomes!.append(inserirNomesTF.text!)
            
        }
      }
    }
