Understanding the distinction between value and reference types is essential to writing efficient and easy to manage code in Swift. In Swift, every piece of data you work with falls into one of these two categories, each with its own unique behavior and implications for memory management, mutability, and performance.
In this chapter, we will explore the concepts of value and reference types in depth, uncovering their characteristics, differences, and best practices for utilizing them effectively. By understanding the differences and similarities between value and reference types, we can make informed decisions when designing our Swift applications, ensuring we are optimizing our code for performance and memory management while having a clean and easy to maintain codebase.
In this chapter, you will explore the following topics:
