How to Create a Class

Use classes for reference semantics and shared state.

Steps

  1. Paste the code into a Swift file or playground.
  2. Run it once to verify the output.
  3. Adjust the inputs to match your use case.

Copy and paste

import Foundation

class Counter {
    var value = 0
    func increment() {
        value += 1
    }
}

let counter = Counter()
counter.increment()
print(counter.value)

Notes

  • Keep functions small and focused for reuse.
  • Prefer safe APIs like optionals and guards.
