how to send a struct instance using prepare for segue

Let's say I have

struct cat {
var paws: int
var name: string
var breed: string

}

How would i go about segueing an instance to a new destination controller? Particularly, this instance from an array to a new DC?

prepare for segue

{
if segue.identifier == "segue"
var nextVC = segue.desitnationviewcontroller as ...
nextvc.instance = ?

}

You can just assign it like this:

let someCat = cat(paws: 4, name: "Kitty", breed: "Unknown")
let arrayCat = [cat(paws: 5, name: "Mutant", breed: "Unknown"),
                cat(paws: 4, name: "John", breed: "Doe")]

var nextVC = segue.desitnationviewcontroller as SomeViewController
nextVC.somePropertyName = someCat // or arrayCat if you're using an array

In your SomeViewController, you'll have to have a property with type cat and you can just assign it. For example:

class SomeViewController: UIViewController {
    var somePropertyName: cat? // [cat]() if it's an array of type cat
}

Also, for your convenience I added a link to Apple's documentation of Swift. The link is here.
