SwiftHow to Use Class Inheritance
Reuse base behavior with subclassing.
Steps
- Paste the code into a Swift file or playground.
- Run it once to verify the output.
- Adjust the inputs to match your use case.
Copy and paste
import Foundation
class Animal {
func speak() {
print("...")
}
}
class Dog: Animal {
override func speak() {
print("Woof")
}
}
let dog = Dog()
dog.speak()Notes
- Keep functions small and focused for reuse.
- Prefer safe APIs like optionals and guards.
