Overview of this book

Swift is a multi-paradigm programming language enabling you to tackle different problems in various ways. Understanding each paradigm and knowing when and how to utilize and combine them can lead to a better code base. Functional programming (FP) is an important paradigm that empowers us with declarative development and makes applications more suitable for testing, as well as performant and elegant. This book aims to simplify the FP paradigms, making them easily understandable and usable, by showing you how to solve many of your day-to-day development problems using Swift FP. It starts with the basics of FP, and you will go through all the core concepts of Swift and the building blocks of FP. You will also go through important aspects, such as function composition and currying, custom operator definition, monads, functors, applicative functors,memoization, lenses, algebraic data types, type erasure, functional data structures, functional reactive programming (FRP), and protocol-oriented programming(POP). You will then learn to combine those techniques to develop a fully functional iOS application from scratch

Generics and Associated Type Protocols

Generics enable us to write flexible and reusable functions, methods, and types that can work with any type. This chapter explains how to define and use Generics and introduces the problems that can be solved with Generics in the Swift programming language with examples.

This chapter will cover the following topics with coding examples:

  • Generic functions and methods
  • Generic parameters
  • Generic type constraints and where clauses
  • Generic data structures
  • Associated type protocols
  • Type erasure
  • Extending Generic types
  • Subclassing Generic classes
