How do I fix 'Ambiguous use of' compiler errors?

In Swift, encountering 'Ambiguous use of' compiler errors typically means that the compiler has multiple possible interpretations for a symbol or method, and it cannot determine which one to use. This often occurs when there are multiple methods or properties with the same name but different parameter types or return types.

This content explains how to resolve ambiguous use of compiler errors in Swift, providing insights on method overloading and ensuring type clarity in your code.


// Example of resolving an ambiguous use of compiler error in Swift

import Foundation

struct Example {
    func method(value: Int) {
        print("Integer method called with value: \(value)")
    }
    
    func method(value: String) {
        print("String method called with value: \(value)")
    }
}

// Creating an instance of the struct
let example = Example()

// Correct calls to eliminate ambiguity
example.method(value: 5)          // Calls the method with Int parameter
example.method(value: "Hello")    // Calls the method with String parameter
