![SequenceType Example
var arr = ["Hello", "how", "are", “you"]
var generator = arr.generate()
while let elem = generator.next() {
println(elem)
}
Is the same as
for elem in arr {
println(elem)
}
In fact the swift compiler will will compile the `for loop` into the
`while loop` above.](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/introtoswift-141003071020-phpapp02/75/The-Swift-Compiler-and-Standard-Library-20-2048.jpg)
![contains
Takes a sequence and calls the predicate
function with every element.
var arr = [“Foo”, “Bar”, “Baz”, “Bez”]
if contains(arr, {$0 == “Baz”}) {
println(“Array contains Baz”)
}](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/introtoswift-141003071020-phpapp02/75/The-Swift-Compiler-and-Standard-Library-25-2048.jpg)
![enumerate
Returns an EnumerateGenerater. The Generator
returns a tuple containing index and Element.
var intarray = [1, 2, 3, 4]
for (index, element) in enumerate(intarray) {
println(“Item (index): (element)”)

The Swift Compiler and Standard Library
The document discusses the Swift compiler, standard library, and key language features. It provides an overview of the Swift compiler's location and how to compile and run Swift programs from the command line. It also summarizes the main types, protocols, operators and global functions that are included in Swift's standard library.

- 12. Swift Standard Library • Types • Protocols • Operators • Global Functions
- 13. Types Create TypesUsing • Enums • Structs • Classes Enums and Struct are value types. Classes are reference Types.
- 14. Enums Use Enumswhen the Values of the Type are limited. e.g. Planets. Enum Bit { case Zero case One func Successor() -> Bit func predecessor() -> Bit }
- 15. Structs All BasicValue Types in Swift are defined using Structs. e.g. Bool, Int, Float, Double, Array, Dictionary. Struct Array<T> { var count: Int { get } var isEmpty: Bool { get } mutating func append(newElement: T) mutating func insert(newElement: T, atIndex i: Int) } Instance Variables Instance Methods
- 16. Classes Classes arereference Types. Use Classes when instances are Objects.

- 18. Protocols Protocols aretemplates for Structs and Classes. Like interfaces in Java Any Type that implements the Printable protocol should implement the instance variable `description` which is a getter that returns a String. ! protocol Printable { var description: String { get } }
- 19. SequenceType Protocol Typesimplementing this protocol can be used in for loops. e.g. String, Array, Dictionary protocol SequenceType { func generate() -> GeneratorType } GeneratorType Protocol protocol GeneratorType { mutating func next() -> Element? }
- 20. SequenceType Example vararr = ["Hello", "how", "are", “you"] var generator = arr.generate() while let elem = generator.next() { println(elem) } Is the same as for elem in arr { println(elem) } In fact the swift compiler will will compile the `for loop` into the `while loop` above.

- 25. contains Takes asequence and calls the predicate function with every element. var arr = [“Foo”, “Bar”, “Baz”, “Bez”] if contains(arr, {$0 == “Baz”}) { println(“Array contains Baz”) }
- 26. enumerate Returns anEnumerateGenerater. The Generator returns a tuple containing index and Element. var intarray = [1, 2, 3, 4] for (index, element) in enumerate(intarray) { println(“Item (index): (element)”) }
