We covered this topic in Chapter 3, Types and Type Casting, but it is important to emphasize that in most OOP languages, instances can be shared and objects can be passed around with their references. This is true for Swift classes and closures as well. In those cases, it is important to understand that the state of an object can be altered when objects are shared via references. In other words, if any user of a reference to a mutable object changes the object, all other users of that object will be affected by the change.

Overview of this book
Swift is a multi-paradigm programming language enabling you to tackle different problems in various ways. Understanding each paradigm and knowing when and how to utilize and combine them can lead to a better code base. Functional programming (FP) is an important paradigm that empowers us with declarative development and makes applications more suitable for testing, as well as performant and elegant. This book aims to simplify the FP paradigms, making them easily understandable and usable, by showing you how to solve many of your day-to-day development problems using Swift FP.
It starts with the basics of FP, and you will go through all the core concepts of Swift and the building blocks of FP. You will also go through important aspects, such as function composition and currying, custom operator definition, monads, functors, applicative functors,memoization, lenses, algebraic data types, type erasure, functional data structures, functional reactive programming (FRP), and protocol-oriented programming(POP). You will then learn to combine those techniques to develop a fully functional iOS application from scratch
