In object-oriented programming, we cannot create an object without a blueprint that tells the application what properties and methods to expect from the object. In most object-oriented languages, this blueprint comes in the form of a class. A class is a construct that allows us to encapsulate the properties, methods, and initializers of an object into a single type. Classes can also include other items, such as subscripts; however, we are going to focus on the basic items that make up classes, not only in Swift, but in other languages as well.
Let's look at how we would use a class in Swift:
class Myclass {
var oneProperty: String
init(oneProperty: String) {
self.oneProperty = oneProperty
}
func oneFunction() {
}
}
An instance of a class is typically called an object. However, in Swift, structures and classes have many of the...
