Error when trying to convert NSLayoutDimension to CGFloat

I am currently trying to convert an NSLayoutDimension to a CGFloat, so that I can get my collection view to conform to a certain layout.

    let spacing: CGFloat = 3

    let width = CGFloat(myCollectionView.widthAnchor)

    let height = CGFloat(myCollectionView.heightAnchor)


    let itemWidth = width / 3 - spacing
    let itemHeight = height / 3 - spacing

    var itemSize: CGFloat = 0

    if itemWidth >= itemHeight {
        itemSize = itemWidth
    }
    else if itemHeight > itemWidth {
        itemSize = itemHeight
    }

    let layout = UICollectionViewFlowLayout()

    layout.sectionInset = UIEdgeInsetsMake(20, 0, 10, 0)
    layout.itemSize = CGSize(width: itemWidth, height: itemHeight)

    layout.minimumInteritemSpacing = spacing
    layout.minimumLineSpacing = spacing

    myCollectionView.collectionViewLayout = layout

Setting width and height is giving the error of:

Cannot invoke initializer for type 'CGFloat' with an argument list of type '(NSLayoutDimension)'.

I have tried setting as a float and then converting float to cgfloat but that has not worked either.

Does anyone know how to convert NSLayoutDimension to CGFloat?

Any help is much appreciated

Thanks.

if you want width and height of your collection view try the code below:

let width = CGFloat(myCollectionView.frame.width)

let height = CGFloat(myCollectionView.frame.height)
