 When button is tapped, show alert.

     Hide extra cells
    tableView.tableFooterView = UIView()

}


func alertForGrade() {

     Create the alert controller.
 alert = UIAlertController(title: "New Grade", message: nil, preferredStyle: .alert);


    Add the text field. You can configure it however you need.
    alert?.addTextField(configurationHandler: { (gradeTypeTextField) -> Void in

        gradeTypeTextField.placeholder = "Type of Grade."

        let pickerView = UIPickerView()
        pickerView.delegate = self
        pickerView.dataSource = self
        pickerView.backgroundColor = UIColor.white
        pickerView.showsSelectionIndicator = true
        gradeTypeTextField.inputView = pickerView
        self.view.endEditing(true)

    })

    alert?.addTextField(configurationHandler: { (assignmentTextField) -> Void in
        assignmentTextField.placeholder = "Name of the assignment."

    })

    alert?.addTextField(configurationHandler: { (gradeTextField) -> Void in gradeTextField.placeholder = "Grade for the assignment."

        Grab the value from the text field, and print it when the user clicks OK.
        let ok = UIAlertAction(title: "OK", style: .default, handler: { (action) -> Void in
            let assignmenttextField = (self.alert?.textFields![0])! as UITextField

            let gradeTextField = (self.alert?.textFields![1])! as UITextField
            let assignment = assignmenttextField.text!

            let gradeString = gradeTextField.text!

            let grade = Int(gradeString)

            self.dictionaryForGradebook.updateValue(grade!, forKey: assignment)

            print(self.dictionaryForGradebook)

            self.tableView.reloadData()
        })


        self.alert?.addAction(ok)
        self.alert?.addAction(UIAlertAction(title: "Cancel", style: .cancel, handler: { (action) -> Void in


        }))

        // 4. Present the alert.
        self.present(self.alert!, animated: true, completion: nil)


    })


}


func numberOfComponents(in pickerView: UIPickerView) -> Int {

    return 1
}

 func pickerView(_ pickerView: UIPickerView, numberOfRowsInComponent component: Int) -> Int {

    return gradeType.count
}

func pickerView(_ pickerView: UIPickerView, titleForRow row: Int, forComponent component: Int) -> String? {

    return gradeType[row]
}


func pickerView(_ pickerView: UIPickerView, didSelectRow row: Int, inComponent component: Int) {

This prints but if I try " yearTextField.text = years[row]" it crashes.
           print("Testinggggg")

    self.view.endEditing(true)


}

alert?.addTextField(configurationHandler: { (gradeTypeTextField) -> Void in

    // Append this:
    self.gradeTypeTextField = gradeTypeTextField

    gradeTypeTextField.placeholder = "Type of Grade."
