Operator and Item
1. ..<
a for
-in
loop and the half-open range operator (..<
)
1 // Check each pair of items to see if they are equivalent. 2 for i in 0..<someContainer.count { 3 if someContainer[i] != anotherContainer[i] { 4 return false 5 } 6 }
2. Generic Where Clauses
1 extension Promise where T: Collection { // From PromiseKit library 2 // ....... 3 }

3. trailing closure
1 /** 2 If you need to pass a closure expression to a function as the function’s final argument 3 and the closure expression is long, it can be useful to write it as a trailing closure 4 instead. A trailing closure is written after the function call’s parentheses, even though 5 it is still an argument to the function. 6 */ 7 8 func someFunctionThatTakesClosure(a :Int, closure: () -> Void) { 9 closure() 10 } 11 12 // Here's how you call this function without using a trailing closure: 13 14 someFunctionThatTakesClosure(a: 3, closure: { 15 // closure's body goes here 16 print("closure as a parameter.") 17 }) 18 19 // Here's how you call this function with a trailing closure instead: 20 21 someFunctionThatTakesClosure(a: 4) { 22 // trailing closure's body goes here 23 print("trailing closure.") 24 } 25 26 27 extension Int { 28 func repetitions(task: (_ th: Int) -> Void) { 29 for i in 0 ..< self { // "for _ in a..<b" ?? 30 task(i) 31 } 32 } 33 } 34 35 let iExtension: Int = 5 36 iExtension.repetitions { (th:Int) in // arguments for Closure 37 print("(th)th loop.") 38 } 39 print("+++++") 40 iExtension.repetitions { th in // arguments for Closure 41 print("(th)th loop.") 42 }
1 print("2. +++++++++") 2 iExtension.repetitions( task: { th in // arguments 3 print("without trailing closure (th)") 4 })

4. Closure Expression Syntax
{ (parameters) -> return type in
statements
}
4.1 Shorthand Argument Names {$0, $1, $2}
1 reversedNames = names.sorted(by: { (s1: String, s2: String) -> Bool in 2 return s1 > s2 3 }) 4 5 6 // Inferring Type From Context 7 reversedNames = names.sorted(by: { s1, s2 in return s1 > s2 } ) 8 9 // Implicit Returns from Single-Expression Closures 10 // Single-expression closures can implicitly return the result of their single 11 // expression by omitting the return keyword from their declaration 12 reversedNames = names.sorted(by: { s1, s2 in s1 > s2 } ) 13 14 15 // Swift automatically provides shorthand argument names to inline closures, 16 // which can be used to refer to the values of the closure’s 17 // arguments by the names $0, $1, $2 18 reversedNames = names.sorted(by: { $0 > $1 } )
5. guard statement
A guard
statement is used to transfer program control out of a scope if one or more conditions aren’t met.
A guard
statement has the following form:
guard condition else {
statements
}
1 func test_guard(_ i: Int) /* -> Void */ { 2 3 guard i > 5 else { 4 print("In test_guard() else clause.") 5 return 6 } 7 8 print("In test_guard() the lastest statement.") 9 } 10 11 test_guard(4) 12 13 // Output: 14 In test_guard() else clause.

6. ? and ! [*]
6.1 "?"
如下所示, 类型后的"?"表示什么:
1 func handleLocation(city: String?, state: String?, 2 latitude: CLLocationDegrees, longitude: CLLocationDegrees) { 3 //...... 4 }
6.2 "!"
如下所示, "!"表示什么:
1 let urlString = "http://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/weather?lat=" + "(latitude)&lon=(longitude)&appid=(appID)" 2 let url = URL(string: urlString)! 3 let request = URLRequest(url: url)
7. backtick(`) in identifier
下面的代码中 "final func `catch` (" 为什么需要"`"符号:
1 final func `catch`(on q: DispatchQueue, policy: CatchPolicy, else resolve: @escaping (Resolution<T>) -> Void, execute body: @escaping (Error) throws -> Void) { 2 pipe { resolution in 3 switch (resolution, policy) { 4 case (.fulfilled, _): 5 resolve(resolution) 6 case (.rejected(let error, _), .allErrorsExceptCancellation) where error.isCancelledError: 7 resolve(resolution) 8 case (let .rejected(error, token), _): 9 contain_zalgo(q, rejecter: resolve) { 10 token.consumed = true 11 try body(error) 12 } 13 } 14 } 15 }
"To use a reserved word as an identifier, put a backtick (`
) before and after it. For example,
class
is not a valid identifier, but `class`
is valid. The backticks are not considered part of the
identifier; `x`
and x
have the same meaning."

8. "default" keyword in Swift parameter
有这种情况,在Xcode中查看一些系统library的"头文件"(Swift中并没有Header File的概念)时,会遇到下面的情况:
1 extension DispatchQueue { 2 // ...... 3 public func async(group: DispatchGroup? = default, qos: DispatchQoS = default, flags: DispatchWorkItemFlags = default, execute work: @escaping @convention(block) () -> Swift.Void) 4 // ...... 5 }
"flags: DispatchWorkItemFlags = default"中有default keyword。
"This is not a valid Swift code, it's generated on the fly." Ref[1]
"You only see this when you're looking at what is effectively closed-source Swift – you're probably using Xcode to look
at generated headers." Ref[2]
"The default
is produced by Xcode and means "there's a default value specified, but you can't see what it is because
you don't have the source code." It's not syntactically valid to write this yourself. " Ref[2]

9. Variadic Parameters
可变的参数
"Variadic parameters are simply a more readable version of passing in an array of elements. In fact,
if you were to look at the type of the internal parameter names in the below example, you’d see
that it is of type [String]
(array of strings):"
1 func helloWithNames(names: String...) { // A: names's type is [String] 2 for name in names { 3 println("Hello, (name)") 4 } 5 } 6 7 // 2 names 8 helloWithNames("Mr. Robot", "Mr. Potato") 9 // Hello, Mr. Robot 10 // Hello, Mr. Potato 11 12 // 4 names 13 helloWithNames("Batman", "Superman", "Wonder Woman", "Catwoman") 14 // Hello, Batman 15 // Hello, Superman 16 // Hello, Wonder Woman 17 // Hello, Catwoman
