Swift: Pass an array by reference?
In Swift, you can pass an array by reference in a function as an argument using inout keyword. In Swift, arrays are value types by default. In other words, they pass a value rather than a reference. If you pass an array to a function as an argument, it makes a copy and passes that copy to the function. First, let's understand what happens when we pass an array in a function as a value. func passByValue(_ array: [Int]) { array.append(100) } let numbers = [0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9] passByValue(numbers) ...
Read MoreSwift JSONDecode decoding arrays fail if single element decoding fails
In Swift, working with JSON objects is very easy with the JSONDecoder class. It is always necessary to create model classes or structs with the Codable protocol. One single mistake leads you to fail to decode the complete JSON object. Let's explore some examples to understand when this failure might occur and how you can handle it in Swift. What is the JSONDecoder class? The JSONDecoder class is then used to parse the JSON data from the file into an instance of the given Type either a class or structure. The decode(_:from:) method is used to deserialize the JSON data, ...
Read MoreObjective-C and Swift URL encoding
URL encoding is an essential part of iOS app development. Many times, you will need to encode the URL to communicate with servers. Let's look at some examples of how you can encode an URL in Swift and Objective-C. URL Encoding in Swift In Swift, you can use the addingPercentEncoding(withAllowedCharacters:) method for URL encoding. URL Encoding in Objective-C In Objective-C, you can use the stringByAddingPercentEncodingWithAllowedCharacters method for URL encoding. Encode a URL in Objective-C In Objective-C, you can encode a URL string using the stringByAddingPercentEncodingWithAllowedCharacters: method of the NSString class. Here's an example NSString *stringToEncode = @"https://www.exampleserver.com/complete path with spaces"; ...
Read MoreNew Array from Index Range Swift
In Swift, you can create an array using the ArraySlice type. The following examples will show how to use the ArraySlice type. You can create an extension as well to define the subscript method. Example 1 In the following example, we create an array of numbers with values from 0 to 9 and then create a range of indices from startIndex to endIndex (exclusive). Using this range we can generate an ArraySlice of the original array. In the end, we will convert the ArraySlice to an array using the Array initializer and print the result. import Foundation let numbers = ...
Read MoreMultiple Type Constraints in Swift
In Swift, there are several ways to implement type constraints on types. We will use some common approaches like the where clause, protocol, etc. Generics provide lots of flexibility to write better and more secure code in Swift. We can apply generics to collections, custom types, etc. One of them is generic type constraints. Using type constraints, you can make your generic code behave that matches a certain set of constraints whatever you define. Swift provides multiple ways to specify type constraints on generic type parameters. Type constraints using the "where" clause The "where" clause in Swift is a highly ...
Read MoreHow to assign an action to the UIImageView object in Swift?
In the iOS applications, the UIImageView class does not provide in-build support to make it clickable like other components e.g. UIButton. In order to make UIImageView clickable, you can add a UITapGestureRecognizer to the image view. Remember that, by default, UIImageView does not take any interaction from the user. To make it interactable, set true to the isUserInteractionEnabled property. In this article, you will learn how you can add a tag gesture to the image view in Swift. To add a tap gesture, we will follow these steps − Step 1 - Create an Image View let profileImageView = ...
Read MoreHow to test the equality of Swift enums with associated values?
In Swift, you can use the Equatable protocol to compare enums with associated values. In this article, we will see how we can compare them using the Equatable protocol with an example. Enumeration with Associated Values In Swift, you can provide a value along with an enum case. This makes enumeration more powerful in Swift. A Swift feature called an enumeration with associated values enables you to design a type that can have a finite set of cases, each of which can have a unique set of associated values of any type. This enables you to link data to each ...
Read MoreCheck If the Rune is a Letter or not in Golang
There is built-in support for Unicode, including its rune type, in the statically-typed computer language Go. A Unicode code point is represented by a rune, which is the equivalent for the int32 type. There are various methods for determining if a rune is a letter or not in the Go language. In this article, we'll explore how to check if a rune is a letter or not in Go, and we'll provide examples of how to do that using different techniques. Why do we need to check If a Rune is a Letter? A rune in Go is a Unicode ...
Read MoreDelete Elements in a Slice in Golang
Slices in Golang are dynamically-sized sequences that provide a more powerful interface than arrays. They are commonly used for storing collections of related data. Sometimes, we may want to delete elements from a slice. In this article, we will discuss how to delete elements in a slice in Golang. Deleting Elements in a Slice In Golang, we can delete elements from a slice using the built-in append() function. Here's how it works − ExampleHere's an example of how to use the deleteElement() function to delete an element from a slice −package main import "fmt" func deleteElement(slice []int, index ...
Read MoreCopy the Sign of Given Number in Golang
In Golang, copying the sign of a given number is a common operation that may be needed in certain scenarios. For example, when performing arithmetic operations on numbers, it may be necessary to ensure that the sign of the result matches the sign of one of the operands. In this article, we will explore how to copy the sign of a given number in Golang, and discuss some use cases where this operation might be useful. Copying the Sign of a Given Number in Golang To copy the sign of a given number in Golang, we can use the math.Copysign() ...
