swift try try? try!

try

You have 2 options when you try calling a function that may throw.

You can take responsibility of handling errors by surrounding your call within a do-catch block:

Or just try calling the function, and pass the error along to the next caller in the call chain:

try!

What happens when you try to access an implicitly unwrapped optional with a nil inside it? Yes, true, the app will CRASH! Same goes with try! it basically ignores the error chain, and declares a “do or die” situation. If the called function didn’t throw any errors, everything goes fine. But if it failed and threw an error, your application will simply crash.

try?

A new keyword that was introduced in Xcode 7 beta 6. It returns an optional that unwraps successful values, and catches error by returning nil.

Or we can use new awesome guard keyword:

One final note here, by using try? note that you’re discarding the error that took place, as it’s translated to a nil. Use try? when you’re focusing more on successes and failure, not on why things failed.
