In Swift, enumerations (enums) are powerful constructs that allow you to define a group of related values. Associated values in Swift enums enhance their flexibility by enabling each enum case to carry additional data of varying types. This feature allows you to model more complex data structures and behaviors with enums. Here’s how you can… Read More »
Protocol-oriented programming (POP) is an approach to software development in Swift that emphasizes the use of protocols to define interfaces and behavior, promoting code reuse, flexibility, and composability. POP encourages structuring code around protocols rather than classes, focusing on what types can do rather than what they are. Key concepts of protocol-oriented programming in Swift… Read More »
