Swift Programming
What are the Necessary Tools for Swift Programming?
What is the Swift Language? The Swift language is built by Apple Inc. It is an intuitive programming general purpose language and consists of multiple paradigms. Swift is compatible with iOS, macOS, tvOS, z/OS, watch OS and Linux. The Swift language supports the core concepts of Objective-C, extensible programming, notably dynamic dispatch and late binding. It can easily catch software bugs and tackle common programming errors such as null pointer dereferencing. In simple words, we can say it is the alternate language to objective C or “Objective-C without the C�.
Which Modern Approach Used in Swift Swift language works on the modern approach of a programming language; therefore, it defines large number of classes of common programming errors: All the variables must be initialized first before use. Out-of-bounds errors are checked in a Array indices.
Nil values are easily handled explicitly by Optional. It has an automatic memory management feature. Recovery from unexpected failures can be managed by error handling.
The Swift language’s coding writing pattern is similar to modern syntax and has the capability to express complex ideas in clear and concise way. This makes the coding simple, efficient and fastest in processing.
Necessary Features There are several features to using Swift language. A few important ones are given below.
1) Rapid Development 2) Safety 3) Automatic memory management
Rapid Development Swift language is very easy to read and write because of its simplified syntax. Its automatic reference counting helps in managing the app’s memory, hence save lots of time of development and make the development process faster.
Safety The main feature of error handling and strong type system keeps the developers from any kind of code crashes and errors. Along with this, Swift’s shorter feedback gives info about coding errors, so that you can instantly fix it before writing the complete code.
Automatic memory management It allows the developer to put all the focus on coding without any hassle about memory management.
Moreover, Swift language is compatible with iPhones, iPads, Linux and all the apple devices such as Mac, Apple TV, and Apple Watch.
Tools and Libraries Swift language consists of several tools and libraries that are effective in coding of Swift language.
AppCode: AppCode IDE basically created for iOS and it is an alternative option of Apple’s Xcode IDE.
2)RunSwift: It is a code bin, based on the web browser, that allow you see the result simultaneously. That means write code on left and see the output on right.
3) SwiftStub: It is also a code bin that allows you to write and run the code in web browser window.
4) Swifty: It is an app for those who want to learn Swift coding. It can be run on iPhone and iPad and have several free tutorials.
Conclusion Swift is a very young language as compare to other languages, and in this short time duration it is still growing very fast due to its performance. There are many software development companies, that provide customized Swift programming services for businesses.
