How would you transform the code below to use the new async/await pattern?

// How would you transform the code below to use the new async/await pattern?

print("Preparing request…")

urlSession.dataTask(with: httpRequest) { data, response, error in
    DispatchQueue.main.async {
        print("Received response: \(response)")
    }
}.resume()

print("Sent request!")

Be sure to tweet us with hashtag #CompleteTheCode if you know the answer!

Compiler Error

This week's Compiler Error has a theme: New Autocompletions in Xcode 13
1 - Our favorite optional binding if let will now autocomplete existing optionals as the left-hand side of the binding as you type it.
2 - For loops will detect if you type the singular form of an existing collection type and autocomplete the entire statement for you.
3 - When calling functions, the editor will prioritize variables with similar names to the argument you are autocompleting to make getting through long argument lists easier.
4 - When dot-chaining members of an expression like view.undoManager.canUndo, the editor will now allow you to skip and will automatically insert undoManager for you if you type view.canUndo.
