    Swift Programming Language

    Uploaded by

    phareze
    Swift is a modern, type-safe programming language introduced by Apple in 2014 for building apps for Apple platforms like iOS, macOS, watchOS and tvOS. It is influenced by languages like C, Python, Ruby and Rust. Swift emphasizes safety, performance and expressiveness. Key features include type safety, protocol-oriented programming, generics, optionals, closures and more. Swift code can be tested and evaluated in an interactive playground and supports both object-oriented and functional programming approaches. While powerful, Swift does have some disadvantages like increased complexity for classes. Overall, Swift is recommended for both beginners and experts as an expressive, future-proof language.

    PROGRAMMING
    LANGUAGE
    Presented by:

    May
    2021
    Overview
     Modern language
     Type safety
     Works with C and Objective-C
     Open source
     Writes apps for tvOS, MacOS, iOS, WatchOs
     Apple’s new programming language
     Introduced in 2014
     Chris Latner, John McCall, Doug Gregor, Ted Kremenek and Joe Groff were behind
    the development

    2
    Goal, Philosophy & Influence

     The goal is to create the best language for system programming


    from mobile to cloud
     Its philosophy is the ability to be used with protocol-oriented
    programming
     Influenced by;
     C#
     Python
     Ruby
     Haskell
     Rust
     Objective-C
    3
    REPL(Read-Eval-Print-Loop)

     X-Code playground allow


    developers to write swift code
     In the figure results of the swift
    code are displayed on the sidebar
     Useful in testing and evaluating
    code without creating an entire
    swift project

    Playground
     Real Playful
     Real Simple
     Real Swift Code

    5
    Default Arguments

    Arguments are always provided in the same order


    as those of functions parameter list

    6
    Types in Swift
    o Swift supports the concept of generic programming
    with static typing ending up with less meta-
    programming power
     Compound types-type with no name
     Tuple types
     Function type
     Named types
     Protocols
     Enumerations
     Structures
     Classes

    7
    First-class Objects

     Flexible constructs are the major swift code building block


     Swift doesn’t require the implementation of separate for custom classes and
    structures
     Potential classes have the additional cost of increased complexity

    8
    Functional Approach

    Swift trailing closure syntax


    let act1SceneCount = Information balance and terseness
    romeoAndJuliet.reduce(0){ count, density
    title in title.hasPrefix("Act 1") ? count
    Use high-order code functions
    + 1 : count } instead of procedural code

    9
    Object Oriented Approach

    struct InMemoryImage: Helps in structuring code


    NamedImageData,
    ImageDataCompressing,
    Enables reusability and code
    ImageDataEncoding { extension
    var name: String Finally, Swift supports multiple
    var data: Data } paradigms

    10
    Disadvantages of Swift

    11
    Recommendations

    I would like to recommend the use of Swift programming


    language to both novice and pro developers since it’s an
    expressive and clean language with a simplified syntax.
    Swift is also future proof as it can be extended for additional
    features.
