Swift is a general-purpose, multi-paradigm, compiled programming language developed by Apple Inc.
For all Apple product, the operating system behind it is written in swift.
Development of Swift started in July 2010 by Chris Lattner, with the eventual collaboration of many other programmers at Apple. Swift took language ideas from Objective-C.
Swift is a strongly-typed language.
In swift, when declaration of variable or constant is made, it automatically picks up the data type This is referred to as type inference.
We have 6 types of data:
- String
- Int
- Double
- Float
- Character
- Bool
This is an example declaration of a variable in Swift
