String basics
Characters
let a = "a" // 'a' is a string
let b: Character = "b" // 'b' is a Character
Concatenation

let string1 = "Hello"


let string2 = ", world!"
var myString = string1 + string2 // "Hello, world!"

myString += " Hello!" // "Hello, world! Hello!"


Interpolation

let name = "Rick"


let age = 30
print("\(name) is \(age) years old")

Rick is 30 years old


Interpolation
Expressions
let a = 4
let b = 5
print("If a is \(a) and b is \(b), then a + b equals \(a+b)")

If a is 4 and b is 5, then a + b equals 9


String equality and comparison

let month = "January"


let otherMonth = "January"
let lowercaseMonth = "january"

if month == otherMonth {
print("They are the same")
}

if month != lowercaseMonth {
print("They are not the same.")
}

let newPassword = "1234"

if newPassword.count < 8 {
print("This password is too short. Passwords should have at least 8 characters.")
}

This password is too short. Passwords should have at least 8 characters.


String equality and comparison
Using switch
let someCharacter: Character = "e"
switch someCharacter {

print("\(someCharacter) is a vowel.")

print("\(someCharacter) is not a vowel.")
