Create Directory in Swift 3.0

Question

I am a new student in 9th grade learning swift, creating a school project .

I am trying to create a directory where I want to save a scanned file into pdf format.

While creating directory I am getting error below.

Error 1:

Cannot use instance member 'filemgr' within property initializer; property initializers run before 'self' is available.

Error 2:

Expected declaration

Code:

let filemgr = FileManager.default


let dirPaths = filemgr.urls(for: .documentDirectory, in: .userDomainMask)

let docsURL = dirPaths[0]

let newDir = docsURL.appendingPathComponent("data").path

do{
    try filemgr.createDirectory(atPath: newDir,withIntermediateDirectories: true, attributes: nil)
} catch {
    print("Error: \(error.localizedDescription)")
}

Please assist me in resolving this issue.

Thanks.

Please use this code:

Swift 5.0, Swift 4.0 And Swift 3.0

let DocumentDirectory = NSURL(fileURLWithPath: NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(.documentDirectory, .userDomainMask, true)[0])
let DirPath = DocumentDirectory.appendingPathComponent("FOLDER_NAME")
do
{
    try FileManager.default.createDirectory(atPath: DirPath!.path, withIntermediateDirectories: true, attributes: nil)
}
catch let error as NSError
{
    print("Unable to create directory \(error.debugDescription)")
}
print("Dir Path = \(DirPath!)")
