苹果公司在 2014 年 6 月 2 日发布了 Swift 编程语言，你可以使用 Swift 编写在 OS X、iOS、watchOS 和 tvOS 上运行的应用，2015 年 12 月 4 日，苹果公司宣布 Swift 编程语言开放源代码，让 Swift 有更广阔的想象空间。

请注意，示例代码都来自 The Swift Programming Language - A Swift Tour，如果你有更多疑问可以参考这本苹果官方教程，我都是自己敲的代码，不是复制粘贴的，所以你最好也一起跟着这篇文章敲代码来开始学 Swift，所谓 Muscle Memory。

Swift Opensource

Playground

目前来看，大家学习 Swift 主要是为了开发苹果平台的应用，你应该有一台 Mac，Mac 上应该装了 Xcode，打开 Xcode，在欢迎界面点击 Get started with a plaground。

Get Started with a Playground

在下面的界面中，输入你新建的 Playground 的 名称 和 平台。

New Playground

从上一步点击 Next 过后，你就会看到 Playground 的主界面了，在这里敲代码学习 Swift，可以不用操心很多你不熟悉的平台 SDK，学习语法，打好基础。

Tour Playground

基础值

var myVariable = 42 // 一个变量

myVariable = 50 // 所以可以改变它的值

let myConstant = 42 // 一个常量，所以不能改变它的值

变量和常量都需要明确类型

let implicitInteger = 70 // 编译器从初始值知道 implicitInteger 是整数类型

let implicitDouble = 70.0 // 编译器从初始值知道 implicitDouble 是浮点类型

let explicitDouble: Double = 70 // 编译器不能从初始值知道 explicitDouble 是浮点类型，所以显示地声明类型

值不能自动地转换为其他类型，需要自己来转换

let label = "The width is "
let width = 94
let widthLabel = label + String(width)

采用 () 将不同类型值拼接成字符串很方便

let apples = 3
let oranges = 5
let appleSummary = "I have \(apples) apples."
let fruitSummary = "I have \(apples + oranges) pieces of fruit."

创建数组和词典

var shoppingList = ["catfish", "water", "tulips", "blue paint"]
shoppingList[1] = "bottle of water"

var occupations = [
  "Malcolm": "Captain",
  "Kaylee": "Mechanic"]
occupations["Jayne"] = "Public Relations"

let emptyArray = [String]()
let emptyDictionary = [String: Float]()

流程控制

if 和 switch 作为条件控制，for-in、while 和 repeat-while 作为循环控制

let individualScores = [75, 43, 103, 87, 12]
var teamScore = 0
for score in individualScores {
  if score > 50 {
    teamScore += 3
  } else {
    teamScore += 1
  }
}
print(teamScore)

可选类型要么有值、要么没有值

var optionalString: String? = "Hello" // ? 表明可选

print(optionalString == nil)

var optionalName: String? = "John Appleseed"
var greeting = "Hello!"
if let name = optionalName { // optionalName 有值才会运行 {} 中的内容

  greeting = "Hello, \(name)"
}

?? 可以为可选类型提供默认值

let nickName: String? = nil
let fullName: String = "John Appleseed"
let informalGreeting = "Hi \(nickName ?? fullName)"

注意 switch 中每一个 case 中的语句运行完后不会再运行下一个 case 中的语句

let vegetable = "red pepper"
switch vegetable {
case "celery":
  print("Add some raisins and make ants on a log.")
case "cucumber", "watercress":
  print("That would make a good tea sandwich.")
case let x where x.hasSuffix("pepper"):
  print("Is it a spicy \(x)?")
default:
  print("Everything tastes good in soup.")
}

for in 遍历数组和词典很方便

let interestingNumbers = [
  "Prime": [2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13],
  "Fibonacci": [1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8],
  "Square": [1, 4, 9, 16, 25]
]
var largest = 0
for (kind, numbers) in interestingNumbers {
  for number in numbers {
    if number > largest {
      largest = number
    }
  }
}
print(largest)

while 和 repeat-while

var n = 2
while n < 100 {
  n = n * 2
}
print(n)

var m = 2
repeat {
  m = m * 2
} while m < 100
print(m)

for，注意 ..< 不包含最大值，… 包含最大值

var firstForLoop = 0
for i in 0..<4 {
  firstForLoop += i
}
print(firstForLoop)

函数和闭包

通过 func 来定义函数，() 里面的是参数列表，-> 是返回类型

func greet(name: String, day: String) -> String {
  return "Hello \(name), today is \(day)."
}
greet(name: "Bob", day: "Tuesday")

函数可以通过元组 tuple 返回多个值

func calculateStatistics(_ scores: [Int]) -> (min: Int, max: Int, sum: Int) {
  var min = scores[0]
  var max = scores[1]
  var sum = 0
  
  for score in scores {
    if score > max {
      max = score
    } else if score < min {
      min = score
    }
    sum += score
  }
  
  return (min, max, sum)
}
let statistics = calculateStatistics([5, 3, 100, 3, 9])
print(statistics.sum)
print(statistics.2)

函数可以将任意数量参数收集为数组

func sumOf(_ numbers: Int...) -> Int {
  var sum = 0
  for number in numbers {
    sum += number
  }
  return sum
}
sumOf()
sumOf(11, 22, 33)

函数可以嵌套，里面的函数可以访问外面函数中声明的变量

func returnFifteen() -> Int {
  var y = 10
  func add() {
    y += 5
  }
  add()
  return y
}
returnFifteen()

函数作为变量值

func makeIncrementer() -> ((Int) -> Int) {
  func addOne(number: Int) -> Int {
    return 1 + number
  }
  return addOne
}
var increment = makeIncrementer()
increment(7)

函数作为参数

func hasAnyMatches(list: [Int], condition: (Int) -> Bool) -> Bool {
  for item in list {
    if condition(item) {
      return true
    }
  }
  return false
}
func lessThanTen(number: Int) -> Bool {
  return number < 10
}
var numbers = [20, 19, 7, 12]
hasAnyMatches(list: numbers, condition: lessThanTen)

闭包就是一段可以稍后再执行的代码，闭包可以继续访问在其被创建时的外部变量，函数这些

numbers.map({
  (number: Int) -> Int in
  let result = 3 * number
  return result
})

更简洁的方式

let mappedNumbers = numbers.map({ number in 3 * number })
print(mappedNumbers)

超简洁的方式

let sortedNumbers = numbers.sorted(by: { $0 > $1 })
print(sortedNumbers)

对象和类

通过 class 定义一个类来瞧瞧

class Shape {
  var numberOfSides = 0
  func simpleDescription() -> String {
    return "A shape with \(numberOfSides) sides."
  }
}

定义一个 Shape 对象来瞧瞧

var shape = Shape()
shape.numberOfSides = 7
var shapeDescription = shape.simpleDescription()

加上初始化方法 init 来瞧瞧，所有的属性都需要初始化，可以像 numberOfSides 通过初始值，还是像 name 通过 init 方法，这里为了和参数 name 区分，所以用了 self 表明属性 name

class NamedShape {
  var numberOfSides: Int = 0
  var name: String
  
  init(name: String) {
    self.name = name
  }
  
  func simpleDescription() -> String {
    return "A shape with \(numberOfSides) sides."
  }
}

定义一个子类，注意重写了父类的方法需要加上 override，通过 super 可以调用父类的方法

class Square: NamedShape {
  var sideLength: Double
  
  init(sideLength: Double, name: String) {
    self.sideLength = sideLength
    super.init(name: name)
    numberOfSides = 4
  }
  
  func area() -> Double {
    return sideLength * sideLength
  }
  
  override func simpleDescription() -> String {
    return "A square with sides of length \(sideLength)."
  }
}
let test = Square(sideLength: 5.2, name: "my test square")
test.area()
test.simpleDescription()

一个有 getter 和 setter 的子类

class EquilateralTriangle: NamedShape {
  var sideLength: Double = 0.0
  
  init(sideLength: Double, name: String) {
    self.sideLength = sideLength
    super.init(name: name)
    numberOfSides = 3
  }
  
  var perimeter: Double {
    get {
      return 3.0 * sideLength
    }
    set {
      sideLength = newValue / 3.0
    }
  }
  
  override func simpleDescription() -> String {
    return "An equilateral triangle with sides of length \(sideLength)."
  }
}
var triangle = EquilateralTriangle(sideLength: 3.1, name: "a triangle")
print(triangle.perimeter)
triangle.perimeter = 9.9
print(triangle.sideLength)

还可以通过 willSet 和 didSet 在属性值改变的前或后来执行一些代码，类似于监听属性值变化

class TriangleAndSquare {
  var triangle: EquilateralTriangle {
    willSet {
      square.sideLength = newValue.sideLength
    }
  }
  
  var square: Square {
    willSet {
      triangle.sideLength = newValue.sideLength
    }
  }
  
  init(size: Double, name: String) {
    square = Square(sideLength: size, name: name)
    triangle = EquilateralTriangle(sideLength: size, name: name)
  }
}
var triangleAndSquare = TriangleAndSquare(size: 10, name: "another test shape")
print(triangleAndSquare.square.sideLength)
print(triangleAndSquare.triangle.sideLength)
triangleAndSquare.square = Square(sideLength: 50, name: "larger square")
print(triangleAndSquare.triangle.sideLength)

枚举和结构体

用 enum 定义一个枚举来瞧瞧，可以有方法的哦，还有一点需要注意，可以指明枚举的 Raw Value 的类型，下例中就是 Int 类型

enum Rank: Int {
  case ace = 1
  case two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten
  case jack, queen, king
  func simpleDescription() -> String {
    switch self {
    case .ace:
      return "ace"
    case .jack:
      return "jack"
    case .queen:
      return "queen"
    case .king:
      return "king"
    default:
      return String(self.rawValue)
    }
  }
}
let ace = Rank.ace
let aceRawValue = ace.rawValue

通过 Raw Value 来创建枚举

if let covertedRank = Rank(rawValue: 3) {
  let threeDescription = covertedRank.simpleDescription()
}

定义枚举时 Raw Value 的类型不是必须的，没有也行

enum Suit {
  case spades, hearts, diamonds, clubs
  func simpleDescription() -> String {
    switch self {
    case .spades:
      return "spades"
    case .hearts:
      return "hearts"
    case .diamonds:
      return "diamonds"
    case .clubs:
      return "clubs"
    }
  }
}
let hearts = Suit.hearts
let heartsDescription = hearts.simpleDescription()

用 struts 定义结构体，结构体和类很像，记住最大的一点不同是，在传递时，结构体是整体拷贝一份，也就是值传递，而类是引用传递

struct Card {
  var rank: Rank
  var suit: Suit
  func simpleDescription() -> String {
    return "The \(rank.simpleDescription()) of \(suit.simpleDescription())"
  }
}
let threeOfSpades = Card(rank: .three, suit: .spades)
let threeOfSpadeDescription = threeOfSpades.simpleDescription()

枚举的实例可以有关联值 Associated Value，要区别于 Raw Value，针对一个枚举 case，Raw Value 都是一样的，Associated Value 可以不同

enum ServerResponse {
  case result(String, String)
  case error(String)
}
let success = ServerResponse.result("6:00 am", "8:09 pm")
let failure = ServerResponse.error("Out of cheese.")

switch success {
case let .result(sunrise, sunset):
  print("Sunrise is at \(sunrise) and sunset is at \(sunset).")
case let .error(error):
  print("Failure... \(error)")
}

协议和扩展

使用 protocol 来定义协议

protocol ExampleProtocol {
  var simpleDescription: String { get }
  mutating func adjust()
}

类，枚举和结构体都可以遵循协议

class SimpleClass: ExampleProtocol {
  var simpleDescription: String = "A very simple class."
  var anotherProperty: Int = 68105
  func adjust() {
    simpleDescription += " Now 100% adjusted."
  }
}
var a = SimpleClass()
a.adjust()
let aDescription = a.simpleDescription

struct SimpleStructure: ExampleProtocol {
  var simpleDescription: String = "A simple structure"
  mutating func adjust() {
    simpleDescription += " (adjusted)"
  }
}
var b = SimpleStructure()
b.adjust()
let bDescription = b.simpleDescription

使用 extension 可以给已有的类型添加功能，加一些方法，运算属性等等

extension Int: ExampleProtocol {
  var simpleDescription: String {
    return "The number \(self)"
  }
  mutating func adjust() {
    self += 42
  }
}
print(7.simpleDescription)

泛型

在 <> 中定义类型的名称来创建泛型方法或类型

func repeatItem<Item>(item: Item, numberOfTimes: Int) -> [Item] {
  var result = [Item]()
  for _ in 0..<numberOfTimes {
    result.append(item)
  }
  return result
}
repeatItem(item: "knock", numberOfTimes: 4)

泛型还可以用在定义类，枚举和结构体中

enum OptionalValue<Wrapped> {
  case none
  case some(Wrapped)
}
var possibleInteger: OptionalValue<Int> = .none
possibleInteger = .some(100)

使用 where 可以给泛型限制一些条件，如必须实现某些协议，或者必须有特定的父类等

func anyCommonElements <T: Sequence, U: Sequence>
  (_ lhs: T, _ rhs: U) -> Bool
  where T.Iterator.Element: Equatable,
  T.Iterator.Element == U.Iterator.Element {
  for lhsItem in lhs {
    for rhsItem in rhs {
      if lhsItem == rhsItem {
        return true
      }
    }
  }
  return false
}
anyCommonElements([1, 2, 3], [3])

一点感受

如果你有其他编程语言的开发经验，或多或少你都可以在 Swift 中看到它们的影子，map 这些函数在 Ruby 中是不是也有啊，所谓的函数式编程，protocol 这种面向协议编程方式，像不像早年 Java 中强调的面向接口编程，看来 Swift 是取众家所长。
