Introduction to Swift Programming Language

Swift is a programming language used for iOS, macOS, watchOS, and tvOS app development.
Swift provides its own versions of fundamental C and Objective-C types, along with advanced types like tuples and optional types.
Swift uses variables to store and refer to values by an identifying name and constants whose values can't be changed.
Constants are used throughout Swift to make code safer and clearer in intent when working with values that don't need to change.
Swift is a type-safe language, which means it helps developers be clear about the types of values their code can work with.
Constants and variables associate a name with a value of a particular type, and the value of a constant can't be changed once set.
Constants and variables must be declared before they're used, and constants are declared with the let keyword and variables with the var keyword.
Type annotations can be used to specify the kind of values a constant or variable can store.
Swift can almost always infer the type to be used for a constant or variable if an initial value is provided.
Multiple constants or variables can be declared on a single line, separated by commas.
Swift's optional types handle the absence of a value and are safer and more expressive than nil pointers in Objective-C.
Type safety helps catch and fix errors early in the development process.
