n my swift code below the goal is to get the amount of core data attributes saved into core data. I am receiving the error message **No exact matches in call to initializer** at **indexBox.text = String(info?)**. I don’t know what to do next.

```auto
class ViewController: UIViewController {
  override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()
   let info = CoredataHandler.fetchObject()?.count
        
 
        
            indexBox.text = String(info?)
        
     
        
     
        
    }
}

class CoredataHandler : NSManagedObject {
    class func fetchObject() -> [User]?
    {
        let context = getContext()
        var user : [User]? = nil
        do {
            user = try context.fetch(User.fetchRequest())
            
            return user
            
        } catch {
            return user
        }
        
    }
    
}

```

Set a breakpoint in that line and check the value for _info_. Is it nil? if so, then you should have a coalescent value for when there isn’t a value there to display:

```swift
info ?? 0

```
