Calling properties from custom data types that are embedded in dictionaries

If i have a dictionary. And inside the dictionary are custom data types. How do i go about calling only the properties of the custom data types via calling the dictionary?

Hi Mohamed,

First, you'd get your custom data-type out of the dictionary, using the key you assigned to it. Then, once you have a reference to your custom data-type, you'd call its properties and methods, as per usual.

I'm now away from my computer so I can't try it in Xcode, however, I guess it could be like "nameOfTheKey.nameOfTheProperty"
