Introduction to Swift

As we saw earlier, Swift programming language is the new “official” language of iOS.
It was developed by Chris Lattner.
Swift was first introduced by Apple in 2014 and is actively maintained by Apple.
It is a General Purpose Language.
It uses a Compiler for Code Translation. So, the entire bulk of Swift code is translated into machine code at once, as compared to Interpreters where line-by-line translation is done.
It uses Automatic Reference Counting (ARC) for Memory Management.
It is easier to learn Swift for both newbies and programmers experienced in other languages.

Now, let's move on to learn about the Data Types available in Swift.
