 iOS Xcode Environment Setup
❑ Download Xcode editor from the Apple website or Apple app
store and this editor is completely free we don’t need to pay anything for
Apple
❑ The requirement of the Xcode editor is that we should have a minimum
Apple Laptop or Mac Computer for development of the iOS applications
❑ Latest Version - Xcode 13

 Working of Xcode Playground
→ The Xcode provides all the things
like interfaces for designing
applications, editors for writing the
code, debuggers to debug the code
and different options to build and
run our applications.

→ The main areas in Xcode which we

use most frequently to design, code,
build and run our applications

 Swift
→ Swift is a new programming language developed by Apple Inc for iOS and OS X
development.
→ Swift was begun in July 2010 by Chris Lattner
→ Swift took language ideas from Objective-C, Rust, Haskell, Ruby, Python, C#, etc.
→ Swift provides a Playground platform
→ Xcode software to start Swift coding in Playground
→ Xcode IDE for iOS/OS X application development

Create a program for iOS playground -
Swift
import UIKit
var myString = "Hello, Playground!"
print(myString)

Comment Line in Swift

Output: Multi-line comments start with /* and terminate
Hello, Playground with the characters */
Single-line comments are written using // at the
beginning of the comment

Built-in Data Types
Int or UInt − This is used for whole numbers
Float − This is used to represent a 32-bit floating-point number and numbers with
smaller decimal points
Double − This is used to represent a 64-bit floating-point number and used when
floating-point values must be very large
Bool − This represents a Boolean value which is either true or false
String − This is an ordered collection of characters. For example, "Hello, World!"
Character − This is a single-character string literal. For example, "C"
Tuples - This is used to group multiple values in single Compound Value
Optional − This represents a variable that can hold either a value or no value.

01-07-2025 SWIFT PROGRAMMING - P.V. KAVITHA 12

 Declaring variables & constants
• Constants are declared using the let
• Explicitly declaring variable with
keyword, and variables with
datatype
the var keyword
• Use let to make a constant and var to var value:Int
make a variable. The value of a constant value=3
doesn’t need to be known at compile print(value)
time, but you must assign it a value
exactly once • To print the current value of a constant or
variable
import UIKit
var myVariable = 42 var s=“SREC”
let myConstant = 42 print(“Our College Name is \(s)”)

 Printing the values of variable
If you need to convert a value to a different
let apples=5 type, explicitly make an instance of the
let oranges=9 desired type.
let fruits="i have \(apples) apples"
print(fruits) let label = "The width is "
let veg="i have \(apples+oranges) fruits" let width = 94
print(veg) let widthLabel = label + String(width)
Use three double quotation marks (""") for
strings that take up multiple lines.
let quotation = """
I said "I have \(apples) apples."
And then I said "I have \(apples + oranges)
pieces of fruit."
"""

Decision making statements
if statement: An if statement consists of a Boolean expression followed by one
or more statements
if...else statement: An if statement can be followed by an optional else
statement, which executes when the Boolean expression is false
if...else if...else statement: An if statement can be followed by an optional else
if...else statement, which is very useful to test various conditions using single
if...else if statement
switch case statement: A switch case statement allows a variable to be tested for
equality against a list of values.

Looping Statements
for-in : This loop performs a set of statements for each item in a range, sequence,
collection, or progression.
while loop: Repeats a statement or group of statements while a given condition
is true. It tests the condition before executing the loop body.
repeat...while loop: Like a while statement, except that it tests the condition at
the end of the loop body.

Swift – Transfer Statements
➢ continue statement is used to stop executing the next statements in loop
and start from the beginning of the next iteration of loop
➢ break statement will stop or ends execution of current flow statements
immediately
➢ fallthrough statement is used in switch statement to execute case
statements which are next to the matched case statements
➢ return statement is used in functions or methods to return the values

 Swift - Tuples
→ Tuples type, are used to group multiple values in a single compound Value.
→ The values in a tuple can be of any type, and do not need to be of same type.
→ You can create tuples from as many values as you want and from any number of different data
types.

01-07-2025 SWIFT PROGRAMMING - P.V. KAVITHA 29

 Swift - Sets
→ Sets are used to store distinct values of same types but they don’t have definite ordering as
arrays have.
→ Use sets instead of arrays if ordering of elements is not an issue, and there are no duplicate
values. (sets allow only distinct values.)
→ All the basic swift values are of hashable type by default and may be used as set values.

01-07-2025 SWIFT PROGRAMMING - P.V. KAVITHA 30

 Accessing and modifying Sets
Access or modify a set using its methods and properties −
"count" method can be used to show the number of elements in the set.
var someSet=[10,30,20]
print(someSet.count) ➔ 3
“append" method can be used to add values in set.
someSet.append(40) // adds the element to Set.
print(someSet.count) ➔ 4
Similarly, isEmpty can be used to check if set is empty.
someSet.isEmpty // returns true or false depending on the set Elements.
print(someSet.isEmpty) ➔ false
someSet.contains(30) // to check if set contains this value.
print(someSet.contains(30)) ➔ true

01-07-2025 SWIFT PROGRAMMING - P.V. KAVITHA 31

 Performing Set Operations
Perform basic set operations on swift Sets.
Following are the methods for performing set operations:
→ Intersection
→ Union
→ Subtracting

01-07-2025 SWIFT PROGRAMMING - P.V. KAVITHA 32

 Arrays
→ Arrays are used to store ordered lists of values of the same type
→ If you assign a created array to a variable, then it is always mutable, which means you can
change it by adding, removing, or changing its items; but if you assign an array to a constant,
then that array is immutable, and its size and contents cannot be changed
→ Create an array of three elements and assign three values to the array
→ var a:[Int]=[10,20,30]

→ Accessing arrays
→ print(a)
→ print(a[0])

Arrays

01-07-2025 SWIFT PROGRAMMING - P.V. KAVITHA 35

Adding Two Arrays Modifying Arrays
Use the addition operator (+) to add two
arrays of the same type which will yield a
new array with a combination of values
from the two arrays as follows:
var intsA = [Int](repeating: 2,count:2)
var intsB = [Int](repeating: 1,count:3)
var intsC = intsA + intsB
for item in intsC { Output:
2
print(item)
2
} 1

Characters
A character in Swift is a single character String literal, addressed by the data
type Character.

String Operations

01-07-2025 SWIFT PROGRAMMING - P.V. KAVITHA 40

 Dictionary
→ Dictionaries are used to store unordered lists of values of the same type
→ Dictionaries use unique identifier known as a key to store a value which later can be
referenced and looked up through the same key
→ A dictionary key can be either an integer or a string without a restriction, but it should be
unique within a dictionary.
→ If assigned a created dictionary to a variable, then it is always mutable which means it can
change by adding, removing, or changing its items. But if assigned a dictionary to a constant,
then that dictionary is immutable, and its size and contents cannot be changed

01-07-2025 SWIFT PROGRAMMING - P.V. KAVITHA 41

Creating and Accessing Dictionary
Create an empty dictionary whose key will be of Int type and the associated values will
be strings
var someDict = [Int: String]()
Here is an example to create a dictionary from a set of given values:
var someDict:[Int:String] = [1:"One", 2:"Two", 3:"Three"]
print(someDict)

01-07-2025 SWIFT PROGRAMMING - P.V. KAVITHA 42

Sequence Based Initialization
Swift allows to create Dictionary from arrays (Key-Value Pairs.)
var cities = [“Delhi”,”Bangalore”,”Hyderabad”]
Use the following simple syntax to create an empty dictionary whose key will be of Int
type and the associated values will be strings −
var Distance = [2000,10, 620]
Here is an example to create a dictionary from a set of given values −
let cityDistanceDict = Dictionary(uniqueKeysWithValues: zip(cities, Distance))

01-07-2025 SWIFT PROGRAMMING - P.V. KAVITHA 43

Filtering
Swift allows to filter values from a dictionary.
var closeCities = cityDistanceDict.filter { $0.value < 1000 }
If we run the above code closeCities Dictionary will be.
["Bangalore" : 10 , "Hyderabad" : 620]

 Functions – To perform an action/operation
func mult(a1:Int,b1:Int) -> Int{ //Functions with
parameter
return a1*b1 func sum(a:Int,b:Int){//Functions without
} return value
print(mult(a1:2,b1:4)) ➔ 8
let a = a+b
func voters()->String{ //Functions without parameter let b = a-b
return ”Kavitha" print(a,b)}
} sum(a:20,b:10) ➔ 30 20
print(voters()) ➔ Kavitha

func disp(no:Int)->Int{ //Functions with return value

let a=no
return a
}
print(disp(no:200)) ➔ 200
