How can I filter data comparing two JSON's and to save the result in an array

Question

I need to extract all Posts Titles from an JSON API using another JSON API of users and after that to extract the count of comments for each Post. Here I have:

1. API for USERS: http://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/users
2. API for POSTS: http://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts
3. API for COMMENTS: http://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/comments

In Users I have a unique ID, in Posts I have UserID and in comments I have PostID.

For the moment I extracted all data from all three API's in three arrays. Now I need to create two functions:

• getPostsTitleForSelectedUser()
• getNumberOfCommentsForEachPost()

Here is a part of code:

    class UserDetailsController: UIViewController {
    
    @IBOutlet weak var detailsTableView: UITableView!
    

    var usersArray = [User]()
    var postsArray = [Post]()
    var commentsArray = [Comment]()
    

    
    func getPostsTitleForSelectedUser() -> String{
        
        let postTitle: String? = "POST TITLE FOR TEST"
        return postTitle!
    }
    
    func getNumberOfCommentsForEachPost() -> String{
        
        let comments = "4131231231"
        return comments
    }


}

Try something like this

func getPostsTitleForSelectedUser(user: User) -> [String] {
    return postsArray.filter { (post) -> Bool in
        post.userId == user.id
        }.map { (post) -> String in
            return post.title
    }
}

func getNumberOfCommentsForEachPost(post: Post) -> Int {
    return commentsArray.filter { (comment) -> Bool in
        comment.postId == post.id
    }.count
}
