How would I set an array of AnyObject.Type objects?

Question

I was trying this last night in various combinations. To my sane mind, this should work perfectly reasonably:

var aTest: Array<AnyObject.Type> = [MyObject.Type]

As should this:

var myTest: AnyObject.Type = MyObject.Type

As for that second example, which is a little simpler, I first get the error:

Expected member name or constructor after type name

And the suggestion to change it to:

var myTest: AnyObject.Type = MyObject.Type()

Which then simply gives the dead-end error of:

'MyObject.Type' is not constructible with '()'

My MyObject is simply set up like so:

class MyObject {

}

My goal is to subclass MyObject into various different subclasses, all which will be contained within an array, so I could access their class methods and then create an instance of any of them when I choose to.

p.s. AnyObject.Type is better known as AnyClass

It seems the solution was to do this:

var myTest: AnyObject.Type = MyObject.self

And this:

var aTest: Array<AnyObject.Type> = [MyObject.self]
