# dictionaryWithValues(forKeys:)

Returns a dictionary containing the property values identified by each of the keys in a given array.

## Declaration

```swift
func dictionaryWithValues(forKeys keys: [String]) -> [String : Any]
```

## Parameters

- `keys`: An array containing NSString objects that identify properties of the receiver.

## Return Value

Return Value A dictionary containing as keys the property names in keys, with corresponding values being the corresponding property values.

## Discussion

Discussion The default implementation invokes value(forKey:) for each key in keys and substitutes NSNull values in the dictionary for returned nil values.
