In the last lesson, you learned the fundamentals of Swift syntax, data types, and how to use variables to store and operate on data in a Swift program.

In this lesson, you'll learn how to use the fundamental flow control structures and language elements that form the building blocks for Swift programs.

Swift contains a full set of flow control constructions that help you build logic and organize applications. Swift implements control structures you'll find familiar, and Swift adds modern features and extensions not available in some other languages.

This lesson also covers the broad range of Swift logical and bitwise operators. Swift supports a comprehensive set of operators, based on the C operator construction—but with modern extensions that we'll fully cover in this lesson.
