Course Description
Welcome to the intermediate level of learning the Swift programming language. In this module, we’ll take a few minutes to look at where we’re going in this intermediate course, from more foundational lessons on type safety and control flow to more complex topics on computed properties, lazy properties, extensions, and protocols.
In this module, you’ll learn more about type safety and why it’s so important in Swift. Swift is a type-safe language, which means how you establish and use your data types is very important. We’ll look at the String type and take a particularly deeper examination into the Character type that makes up String values. We’ll learn how to convert one specific type to another.
You’ll also learn about Swift’s control flow, going through a review of conditional statements with If Else, how to use logical and comparison operators, and how to loop through, or iterate, through a range of values.
What You'll Learn
- Understand Swift types and how to convert one specific type to another
- Examine the String type and the Character type that makes up String values
- Recognize and apply If Else conditional statements in Swift's control flow
- Use logical operators when writing Swift code
- Apply comparison operators to evaluate values
- Loop through, or iterate, through a range of values
Key Takeaways
- Swift is a type-safe language, so how you establish and use your data types is very important.
- String values are made up of the Character type, which this module examines in greater depth.
- Swift's control flow includes conditional statements using If Else, along with logical and comparison operators.
- This intermediate course moves from foundational lessons on type safety and control flow toward more complex topics such as computed properties, lazy properties, extensions, and protocols.
- Iteration in Swift lets you loop through a range of values.
