Is it possible to use the variable from an optional binding within the same conditional statement?

Question

if let popupButton = result?.control as? NSPopUpButto {

    if popupButton.numberOfItems <= 1 {

        // blahblah

    }

}

I want to avoid the double nested if.

if let popupButton = result?.control as? NSPopUpButton && popupButton.numberOfItems <= 1 {}

but I get the

unresolved identifier

compiler error if I do that.

Is there any way to make this condition on one line? Or because I'm using an optional binding, am I forced to make a nested

if

here?

You can do it this way:

if let popupButton = result?.control as? NSPopUpButton, popupButton.numberOfItems <= 1 {
    //blahblah
}
