Return different type of arrays contents from a function

I have a function that I would like to return different types of arrays. Here's what I have so far.

func typeForSection(section: Int) -> Array<What do I put here?> {
    switch section {
    case 1:
        return media // media is an array of strings
    case 2:
        return hashtags // hashtags is an array of strings
    case 3:
        return urls // hashtags is an array of NSUrls
    case 4:
        return mentions // array of integers
    }
}

What do I need to do to assign for the return array as any type? Thanks.

Use AnyObject for returning any type of object

func typeForSection(section: Int) -> AnyObject

AnyObject in swift is equivalent to id in Obj C

And if you only want to return Array with different Object in it use Array<AnyObject>

Example

func typeForSection(section: Int) -> Array<AnyObject>
