Designed to coexist with Objective-C and to be more resilient against erroneous code, Swift was introduced in 2014 at Apple's developer conference WWDC.

It goes into much more detail than this guide, and if you have the time and patience to read it, it's recommended. Some of these examples are from that book. -See also Apple's [getting started guide](https://developer.apple.com/library/prerelease/ios/referencelibrary/GettingStarted/DevelopiOSAppsSwift/), which has a complete tutorial on Swift. +Another great reference is _About Swift_ on Swift's [website](https://docs.swift.org/swift-book/). ```swift // import a module -import UIKit +import Foundation -// -// MARK: Basics -// +// Single-line comments are prefixed with // +// Multi-line comments start with /* and end with */ +/* Nested multiline comments + /* ARE */ + allowed + */ // Xcode supports landmarks to annotate your code and lists them in the jump bar // MARK: Section mark @@ -31,215 +35,383 @@ import UIKit // TODO: Do something soon // FIXME: Fix this code -// In Swift 2, println and print were combined into one print method.
