Cannot subscript a value of type '[UInt32]'

问题

I have an array of numbers that have been generated randomly and I am then trying to query Firebase for a question that is equal to the value at index [0] in the array of chosen numbers. The problem at the moment is that I get an error Cannot subscript a value of type '[UInt32]'. P.S. I am not extremly experienced in swift so exact code solutions would be very apreciated! I have also attached my firebase structure...

import UIKit
import Firebase

class QuestionViewController: UIViewController {


let ref = Firebase(url: "https://123test123.firebaseio.com/questions")

override func viewDidLoad() {
    super.viewDidLoad()

    // An empty array to hold the selected numbers
    var selectedNumbers: [UInt32] = []

    // A range of acceptable numbers
    let randomNumberRange = 1...10

    // How many numbers are needed?
    let randomNumbersToChoose = 10

    // Crash if asking for more numbers than are available in the range
    assert(randomNumberRange.count >= randomNumbersToChoose, "Must have enough numbers to choose from!")

    // Repeat this loop until all enough numbers have been selected
    while selectedNumbers.count < randomNumbersToChoose {

        // Pick a random number within the allowed range
        let selectedNumber = arc4random_uniform(UInt32(randomNumberRange.endIndex - randomNumberRange.startIndex)) + UInt32(randomNumberRange.startIndex)

        // If it's not already in the selected array, add it
        if (selectedNumbers.indexOf(selectedNumber) == nil) {
            selectedNumbers.append(selectedNumber)
        }
    }

    // Print the result
    print(selectedNumbers)


        print(selectedNumbers)
        let selectedNumberIndex: UInt32 = 2
        ref.queryOrderedByChild("value").queryEqualToValue(selectedNumbers[0])
            .observeEventType(.ChildAdded, withBlock: {
                snapshot in
                //Do something with the question
                print(snapshot.key)
                print(snapshot.value.valueForKey("question"))
            })
    }

@IBAction func truepressed(sender: AnyObject) {
}

@IBAction func falsePressed(sender: AnyObject) {
}

}

This is a typical situation of the Swift compiler obscuring the real error behind another one. The .queryEqualToValue(..) method expects an argument of type AnyObject; which can hold only reference (class) types, whereas UInt32 is a value type.

Another subject of confusion could be that we're generally used to the fact that AnyObject types can, seemingly, hold Int types, when in fact such assignments implicitly converts the Swift native Int value type to the Foundation __NSCFNumber reference type. This implicit conversion is, however, not available for UInt32 type.

var a : AnyObject?
let foo : [Int] = [1, 2, 3]
let bar : [UInt32] = [1, 2, 3]

/* OK: Int -> [implicitly] -> __NSCFNumber */
a = foo[0]
print(a!.dynamicType) // __NSCFNumber

/* Not OK */
a = bar[0]
/* error: cannot subscript a value of type '[UInt32]' a = bar[0] */

Hence, you could solve this issue by:

Letting selectedNumbers be an array 0f Int, rather than UInt32 (and modify the affected parts of your code accordingly).
Perform a type conversion from UInt32 to Int in your call to .queryEqualToValue(..). E.g., in the example above:
```
a = Int(bar[0])
```
Just take care that for 32-bit systems (e.g. iPhone 5), half the upper range of numbers representable by UInt32 type cannot be represented by Int type, since on 32-bit system, Int corresponds to Int32.
```
INT32_MAX   // 2147483647
UINT32_MAX  // 4294967295
```
From a quick glance at your code, however, it doesn't seem as if this should be an issue here, as the elements of selectedNumbers will not contain the larger numbers representable by UInt32 (and, for 64-bit systems: OK, as Int corresponds to Int64). If choosing this option, you should, however, for good practice, assert prior to conversion that the UInt32 value can be represented by the Int type on the systems intended to run your application.
