Introduction Welcome to the Swift Objects tutorial, which is part of our Swift series. In Swift, everything is treated as an object, even basic values like numbers. This means that every value can receive messages and have associated functions called methods. Messages and Methods In Swift, each type can have multiple methods associated with it. For example, the number value 8 has a isMultiple method that can be called to check if it is a multiple of another number....

In Swift, there is a wide range of operators that can be used to perform operations on values. These operators can be divided into different categories based on the number of targets they have and the kind of operation they perform. Unary, Binary, and Ternary Operators Operators are categorized based on the number of targets they have. Unary operators have one target, binary operators have two targets, and the ternary operator is the only one with three targets....

Optionals play a crucial role in Swift programming. They allow us to handle situations where a value may or may not be present. By declaring a type as optional, we indicate that it may contain a value or be absent. To declare an optional, we add a question mark (?) after its type. For example: var value: Int? = 10 In this case, value is not directly an Int but an optional that wraps an Int value....

Protocol in Swift allows different objects of different types to have a common set of functionality. It serves as a blueprint that defines a set of properties and methods that can be adopted by structs and classes. To define a protocol in Swift, use the following syntax: protocol Mammal { } Structs and classes can adopt a protocol by indicating it after the colon: struct Dog: Mammal { } class Cat: Mammal { } A protocol can define properties and methods but does not provide values or implementations....

Structures are a fundamental concept in Swift programming. They are widely used and even the built-in types in Swift are implemented as structures. In Swift, we can create instances of structures, which are known as objects. In most programming languages, objects can only be created from classes. However, Swift provides the flexibility to create objects from structures as well. In fact, the official documentation recommends using structures whenever possible because they are easier to work with....

In the world of Swift programming, numbers play a crucial role. They allow us to perform mathematical calculations and represent various data types. In this tutorial, we will explore the two main types of numbers in Swift: Int and Double. We will also discuss other numeric types and how to convert between them. Integers: Int An Int in Swift represents a whole number without a decimal point. It is used to store values such as counts, indices, or any other quantity that can be expressed as a whole number....

In Swift, the order in which operators are evaluated can have a significant impact on the result of an expression. This order is determined by the operator precedence and associativity. In this tutorial, we’ll explore how these concepts work in Swift. Let’s start with an example: let amount = 1 + 2 * 3 The value of amount can vary depending on whether the addition (1 + 2) is calculated before the multiplication (2 * 3)....

When working with the TabView component in Swift, you have the ability to enhance each tab with an icon using a system image. This can be achieved by using the systemImage parameter within the Label element. Here is an example of how to use SF Symbols within a TabView: TabView { Text("First") .tabItem { Label("First", systemImage: "tray") } } In this particular case, the icon “tray” is used. But how can you discover other available icons to use in your app?...

As a developer with a passion for building things, I’ve always enjoyed exploring the software and hardware aspects of creating new technologies. While I have a background in web development, my decision to venture into iOS development doesn’t mean I’m abandoning it. Instead, I see it as an opportunity to explore a whole new world of possibilities with Swift. One of my main goals is to help aspiring developers in their journey....
