Mastering Swift 6 - Seventh Edition
By :
We began this chapter by looking at what data race conditions are and how Swift 6 works to prevent them.
Swift’s async and await keywords offer a powerful and intuitive way of handling asynchronous tasks, such as network requests and file I/O, ensuring a smooth and responsive user experience. Using the async keyword enables functions to pause and wait while asynchronous operations run, while the await keyword suspends the function until the awaited task completes. This keeps the main thread free, maintaining a responsive user interface.
Tasks and task groups offer additional control and coordination for asynchronous operations. A task is a unit of work that runs asynchronously, enabling concurrent execution without blocking the main thread. Task groups manage related tasks together, enabling multiple operations to run concurrently and gathering their results collectively. By using async let, tasks can start simultaneously and be awaited together, ensuring the...
