Simply comparing the textfield object to the empty string    is not the right way to go about this  You have to compare the textfield s text property  as it is a compatible type and holds the information you are looking for    IBAction func Button sender  AnyObject        if textField1 text          textField2 text                    either textfield 1 or 2 s text is empty           Swift 2 0    Guard   guard let text   descriptionLabel text where  text isEmpty else       return   text characters count    do something if it s not empty   if   if let text   descriptionLabel text where  text isEmpty         do something if it s not empty       text characters count       Swift 3 0    Guard   guard let text   descriptionLabel text   text isEmpty else       return   text characters count    do something if it s not empty   if   if let text   descriptionLabel text   text isEmpty         do something if it s not empty       text characters count

As now in swift 3   xcode 8 text property is optional you can do it like this   if   textField text        isEmpty           is empty     or   if  textField text  isEmpty    true           is empty     Alternatively you could make an extenstion such as below and use it instead   extension UITextField       var isEmpty  Bool           return text  isEmpty    true               if  textField isEmpty           is empty

if let     where        Swift 3   if let  text   theTextField text   text isEmpty           text is not empty here     Swift 2   if let theText   theTextField text where  theTextField text  isEmpty          theText is not empty here     guard     where     else    You can also use the keyword guard    Swift 3   guard let theText   theTextField text where theText isEmpty else          theText is empty     return    or throw       you can use theText outside the guard scope   print  user wrote   theText      Swift 2   guard let theText   theTextField text where  theTextField text  isEmpty else          the text is empty     return       you can use theText outside the guard scope   print  user wrote   theText      This is particularly great for validation chains  in forms for instance  You can write a guard let for each validation and return or throw an exception if there s a critical error
