What are optionals in Swift?
Optionals in Swift are a powerful feature that allows variables to have a value or no value (nil). They help in safely handling the absence of a value.
How do I declare an optional in Swift?
You declare an optional by adding a question mark after the type. For example, var name: String?
means name
can hold a string or be nil.
What’s the difference between optional and implicitly unwrapped optional?
An optional can be nil, while an implicitly unwrapped optional is assumed to have a value after being initially set, so it doesn't require unwrapping every time.
Can you show me an example of using optionals?
Sure! Here's a simple example:
var age: Int? = nil
if let unwrappedAge = age {
print("Age is \(unwrappedAge)")
} else {
print("Age is not set")
}
