These are access modifiers for the individual methods of a struct or non-class protocols. These apply also to the getter and setter methods of properties. To understand these keywords, lets construct a struct MyStruct holding property underlyingValue of type Int: class MyStruct { private var underlyingValue: Int = 0 } …

Generics for protocols are what they are. They enable us to write a common protocol that can accomodate variance in data types, for the same names, in the classes that conform to the protocol (NOTE: THIS IS STATEMENT IS JUST MY ATTEMPT TO DEFINE associatedtype IN A SINGLE SENTENCE. DO…

TLDR; It is like compiler substitution :) HTTR; To understand associatedtypes: https://02infinity.medium.com/understanding-swift-protocol-associated-types-ca717d091b56 I’ve had a hard time wrapping my head around ‘some’ keyword (introduced in swift 5.1). Now that I have that “Ah-ha!” moment, I thought I may be able to help others understand, with this article. I’ll start with…
