Swift Is Type-Safe Language
🌸 Why Swift Is a Type-Safe Language ✨ Swift allows many kinds of data—strings, integers, decimals, booleans, and more. Once Swift decides what type a variable holds, that type can never change . This is called type safety , and it’s one of Swift’s biggest strengths. 🔹 How Swift Assigns Types Swift infers the type from the value you assign: var flowerCount = 42 Because 42 is a whole number, Swift treats flowerCount as an Int . You can change the value: flowerCount = 50 But you cannot change the type . 🔹 Type Safety in Action This is not allowed : // ❌ Error flowerCount = "Forty two" Swift won’t let you assign a String to a variable that was created as an Int . 🔹 Why This Matters As apps grow, keeping track of every variable’s type becomes impossible. Swift takes that responsibility for you and prevents bugs before your app runs . Type safety ensures: Numbers aren’t treated like text Decimals aren’t mixed with integers accidentally Data stays predictable and reliable 🌟 Wrap Up Type safet
