Overview of this book

<p><span id="description" class="sugar_field">At their Worldwide Developer’s conference (WWDC) in 2015, Apple announced Swift 2, a major update to the innovative programming language they first unveiled to the world the year before. Swift 2 features exciting enhancements to the original iteration of Swift, acting, as Apple put it themselves as “a successor to the C and Objective-C languages.” – This book demonstrates how to get the most from these new features, and gives you the skills and knowledge you need to develop dynamic iOS and OS X applications.<br /> </span></p> <p><span id="description" class="sugar_field">Learn how to harness the newest features of Swift 2 todevelop advanced applications on a wide range of platforms with this cutting-edge development guide. Exploring and demonstrating how to tackle advanced topics such as Objective-C interoperability, ARC, closures, and concurrency, you’ll develop your Swift expertise and become even more fluent in this vital and innovative language. With examples that demonstrate how to put the concepts into practice, and design patterns and best practices, you’ll be writing better iOS and OSX applications in with a new level of sophistication and control.</span></p>

Putting it all together


To reinforce what we learned in this chapter, let's look at one more example. For this example, we will create a function that will test to see if a string value contains a valid IPv4 address or not. An IPv4 address is the address assigned to a computer that uses the Internet Protocol to communicate. An IP address consists of four numeric values, ranging from 0-255, separated by a dot (period). An example of a valid IP address is 10.0.1.250:

func isValidIP(ipAddr: String?) -> Bool {

    guard let ipAddr = ipAddr else {
        return false
    }

let octets = ipAddr.characters.split { $0 == "."}.map{String($0)}
    
    guard octets.count == 4 else {
        return false
    }

    
    func validOctet(octet: String) -> Bool {
        guard let num = Int(String(octet))
            where num >= 0 && num < 256 else {
                return false
        }
        return true
    }
    
    for octet in octets {
        guard validOctet(octet) else...
