SOLVED: Array Filtering

	@DavidGagne Aug '21 Let's say I have an array of objects, like so: `[ { "name": "david", "type": "human" }, { "name": "chris", "type": "human" }, { "name": "thor", "type": "god" }, { "name": "wolverine", "type": "mutant" } ]` Now I have another array, like so: `["human", "puppy", "automobile"]` How can I get all the objects from the first array that have a type value that exists in the second array? 3
	@roosterboy HWS+ Aug '21 Assuming the shape of your data object from that JSON: import Foundation struct CharacterData { let name: String let type: String } //presumably the data would normally be loaded from some JSON //but for sake of example I'm just building it manually let characters: [CharacterData] = [ CharacterData(name: "David", type: "human"), CharacterData(name: "Chris", type: "human"), CharacterData(name: "Thor", type: "god"), CharacterData(name: "Wolverine", type: "mutant"), ] let filteredCharacters = characters.filter { ["human", "puppy", "automobile"].contains($0.type) } print(characters) print(filteredCharacters) 4
	@DavidGagne Aug '21 *THANK YOU!* 3
	@DavidGagne Aug '21 Just a follow-up to say that this is exactly what I needed and works perfectly. Thanks again. 3
