Cracking the iOS Interview
What is optional in Swift?
An optional type acts as a container with either a wrapped value or nil.
By syntax, an optional is an enum with two cases: .some storing a wrapped value. .none storing nil.
What is the difference between a computed and a lazy stored property?
- The computed property would be recalculated every time while the lazy property is calculated once.
- Considering that lazy property is only called once, it may sometimes return a wrong value. While the computed property will give you always return the correct result.
iOS Good Practices
Take advantage of the iOS community
Being a junior or senior iOS developer, you should always be connected with other developers. As a member of the community, you can learn and share lots of things with iOS developers. You can join supportive and mature communities.
In addition to connecting with like-minded developers, it helps you overcome obstacles when it comes to developing apps. You can ask questions and get answers quickly. Even quicker than you thought. Apart from this, you also get exposure in the community.
You may find some worthwhile iOS communities on Slack, LinkedIn, Twitter, StackOverflow, and Quora.
