Question

An AI wrote this Swift code to parse a price from an API response and format it for display in a checkout cell. It passes the dev's manual test, but you get a spike of crash reports in production from a single screen. What's the bug and how would you catch it before shipping?

swift
func displayPrice(from json: [String: Any]) -> String {    let cents = json["amount_cents"] as! Int    let currency = json["currency"]! as! String    let dollars = Double(cents) / 100.0    return formatter.string(currency: currency, amount: dollars)!}
What a strong answer looks like

Treat the AI’s output as a draft to verify, not an answer to trust. Name the specific flaw and the input that triggers it, say how you’d catch it — tests, edge cases, reading critically — and how you’d re-prompt or decompose to get it right.
