Get quick answers for developing and debugging applications with Swift, Apple's multi-paradigm programming language. Updated to cover the latest features in Swift 2.0, this pocket reference is the perfect on-the-job tool for learning Swift's modern language features, including type safety, generics, type inference, closures, tuples, automatic memory management, and support for Unicode. Designed to work with Cocoa and Cocoa Touch, Swift can be used in tandem with Objective-C, and either language can call APIs implemented in the other. Swift is still evolving, but Apple clearly sees it as the future language of choice for iOS and OS X software development. Topics include: Supported data types, such as strings, arrays, array slices, sets, and dictionaries Program flow: loops, conditional execution, and error handling Classes, structures, enumerations, and functions Protocols, extensions, and generics Memory management Closures: similar to blocks in Objective-C and lambdas in C# Optionals: values that can explicitly have no value Operators, operator overloading, and custom operators Access control: restricting access to types, methods, and properties Ranges, intervals, and strides A full list of built-in global functions and their parameter requirements.;Copyright; Table of Contents; Swift Pocket Reference; Introduction; Conventions Used in This Book; Using Code Examples; Safari® Books Online; How to Contact Us; Acknowledgments; Getting Started with Swift 2; The Swift REPL; Swift as a Scripting Language; Swift Playgrounds; A Taste of Swift; Basic Language Features; Comments; Semicolons; Whitespace; Naming Conventions; Importing Code from Other Modules; Types; Specific Integer Types; Numeric Literals; Character and String Literals; Type Aliases; Nested Types; Other Types; Variables and Constants; Computed Variables; Variable Observers; Tuples.
