- Strings
- Learn how to create and store text using the String type
- You'll learn a variety of String methods that allow you to compare two strings, access specific characters within a string, and insert and remove values
- Functions
- Learn how to declare functions with different parameters and return types
- Structures
- Learn how to create structures in Swift
- Classes
- Learn what makes classes different from structures and when to use classes instead of structures
- You'll also learn about inheritance, super-classes, and sub-classes
- Optionals
- Learn to use optionals to properly handle situations when data may or may not exist
- Collections
- Learn about the various collection types available in Swift and how to choose the appropriate one for your program
- Loops
- Learn how to create loops in Swift, control the conditions for looping, and specify when to stop
