Swift

Swift is an open-source, multi-paradigm programming language for iPadOS, macOS, tvOS, watchOS, and iOS development. Apple created it in 2014 to provide developers with a powerful language for developing iOS apps.

Swift is fast, safe, and modern, and it allows for some interactivity in development. It includes features such as closures, generics, and type inference that make it much easier to use by simplifying common Objective-C patterns. It combines features of both C and Objective-C, but without the constraints that come with direct built-in C compatibility. Swift, with the help of Cocoa and Cocoa Touch, completely reimagines mobile app development for Apple products.

Swift claims that the language was created to be safe, fast, and expressive. It is intended to be a replacement for C-based programming languages. Swift is constantly evolving, and the Swift community is expanding. Swift source code is available on GitHub, making it accessible to anyone.

 

Benefits

  • Generics are powerful because they allow you to write flexible, reusable functions and types that can work with any type.
  • Swift includes support for throwing, catching, propagating, and manipulating errors at runtime.
  • Swift allows you to define a structure or class in a single file, and the external interface is made available for use by other code.
  • Swift supports protocol extensions, which allow you to define behaviour on protocols rather than in global functions or individual conformances.
  • Swift manages memory automatically and prevents unsafe behaviour in your code.
  • Swift tracks and manages our app's memory usage using Automatic Reference Counting (ARC). This means we don't have to worry about memory management.
