Mastering Swift 6 - Seventh Edition
By :
In this chapter, we looked at some of the powerful capabilities of Swift enumerations. We saw how the support for raw values offers greater flexibility with a wide range of types, giving enumerations greater adaptability compared to other language’s limited raw value options.
We saw how enumerations can have associated values, allowing for flexible representation of complex data structures, a feature that distinguishes them from enumerations in other languages. We also looked at how pattern matching in Swift leads to more concise and readable code.
We also covered how Swift enumerations provide native support for methods and computed properties, making them similar to structures and classes. Swift's value semantics ensure safer concurrency and immutability.
