Data Types
Swift offers a rich set of built-in data types for various kinds of data manipulation. Understanding these data types is crucial for effective Swift programming. This section will explore the most commonly used data types in Swift, such as Int, Double, String, and Bool.
Integer Types
What is Int?
Int
is used for storing integer values. It can store both positive and negative numbers.
var age: Int = 30
UInt for Unsigned Integers
UInt
is used for storing unsigned integer values, which are always positive or zero.
var stockQuantity: UInt = 50
Floating-Point Types
Double and Float
Double
and Float
are used for storing floating-point numbers, with Double
having more precision.
var pi: Double = 3.14159
var height: Float = 1.75
String Type
String
is used for storing text.
var name: String = "John"
Boolean Type
Bool
is used for storing true or false values.
var isCompleted: Bool = false
