The following code can be pasted into a Swift playground, and demonstrates how you can get a mutable array of (a copy of the) dictionary keys.
let dict = ["Fritz": "Senior Engineer", "Mary": "Director of Safety", "John": "VP of this and that"]
var keyArray: [String] = dict.keys.map { $0 } print(keyArray) if let index = keyArray.index(of: "Fritz") { keyArray.remove(at: index) }
print(keyArray)
If you don't cast to an array of Strings, you'll get the following error:
error: value of type 'LazyMapCollection<LazyMapCollection<Dictionary<String, String>, String>, String>' has no member 'remove'
