Swift Mentor-Swift Learning Companion

Example

A user submits a snippet of Swift code that is not functioning as expected. Swift Mentor analyses the code, identifies errors or inefficiencies, and suggests improvements or corrections.

Scenario

For example, a learner is working on a SwiftUI app and encounters a bug where the UI does not update as expected. Swift Mentor would guide them through debugging, perhaps pointing out a missing 'ObservableObject' protocol or an improperly used 'State' property.

Example

A user asks about the difference between 'Structs' and 'Classes' in Swift. Swift Mentor provides a detailed explanation, highlighting key differences like value vs. reference types, along with code examples to illustrate these points.

Scenario

In a scenario where a beginner is unsure when to use a Struct or a Class, Swift Mentor can guide them through decision-making criteria, such as the importance of inheritance and data encapsulation in their specific project context.

Example

A user shares a piece of Swift code and asks for advice on optimization. Swift Mentor reviews the code, suggesting more efficient algorithms or Swift-specific practices like using 'lazy' properties or 'map' and 'filter' methods for arrays.

Scenario

An intermediate developer might be building a complex app and wants to ensure efficient memory management. Swift Mentor could advise on using 'weak' and 'unowned' references to prevent retain cycles, especially in closures and delegate patterns.
