Pop 2 view controllers in Nav Controller in Swift

Question

I have found many ways to pop back 2 UIViewControllers in UINavigationController using Objective-C, however when I try and switch that over to Swift it doesn't seem to be working.

What would be the best approach to pop back to UIViewController? Any guidance would be appreciated Thanks

Expanding on my comment, find the second last view controller in the viewControllers array and then use popToViewController to avoid overwriting the entire view controller stack.

Example (assumes the navigation controller has more than 1 view controller):

func backTwo() {
    let viewControllers: [UIViewController] = self.navigationController!.viewControllers as [UIViewController]
    self.navigationController!.popToViewController(viewControllers[viewControllers.count - 3], animated: true)
}

Objective-C

NSArray *viewControllers = [self.navigationController viewControllers];
[self.navigationController popToViewController:viewControllers[viewControllers.count - 3] animated:YES];
