Comparison of Structs and Classes in Swift
Structs and classes are fundamental building blocks in Swift, both enabling developers to define
custom data types. However, they have key differences in behavior and usage.
Feature Struct Class
Value Type (copied when Reference Type (shared when
Memory Type
assigned) assigned)
Inheritance No inheritance Supports inheritance
Requires mutating keyword to Properties can be modified
Mutability
modify properties in methods freely in methods
ARC (Automatic Reference Uses ARC for memory
Not applicable
Counting) management
Example:
struct PersonStruct {
var name: String
var person1 = PersonStruct(name: "John")
var person2 = person1 // Copy of value
person2.name = "Doe"
print(person1.name) // Output: John (unchanged)
class PersonClass {
var name: String
init(name: String) {
self.name = name
Code for To-Do List Filtering App
struct ToDo {
var toDoId: Int
var toDoTitle: String
var toDoStatus: Bool
}
let todos = [
ToDo(toDoId: 1, toDoTitle: "Test A", toDoStatus: true),
ToDo(toDoId: 2, toDoTitle: "Test B", toDoStatus: false),
ToDo(toDoId: 4, toDoTitle: "Test C", toDoStatus: true),
ToDo(toDoId: 6, toDoTitle: "Test D", toDoStatus: true)
]
func filterEvenCompletedTodos(todos: [ToDo]) -> [ToDo] {
return todos.filter { $0.toDoId % 2 == 0 && $0.toDoStatus }
}
let filteredTodos = filterEvenCompletedTodos(todos: todos)
print(filteredTodos)
Code for BMI Calculator App
import SwiftUI
enum BMIStatus: String {
case underweight = "You are underweight"
case normal = "Your weight is normal"
case overweight = "You are overweight"
}
class Person {
var weight: Double
var height: Double
init(weight: Double, height: Double) {
self.weight = weight
self.height = height
}
func calculateBMI() -> BMIStatus {
let bmi = weight / (height * height)
switch bmi {
case ..<18.5: return .underweight
case 18.5...24.9: return .normal
default: return .overweight
}
}
}
struct ContentView: View {
@State private var weight = ""
@State private var height = ""
@State private var bmiResult: BMIStatus?
var body: some View {
VStack {
TextField("Enter weight (kg)", text:
$weight).textFieldStyle(RoundedBorderTextFieldStyle())
TextField("Enter height (m)", text: $height).textFieldStyle(RoundedBorderTextFieldStyle())
Button("Calculate BMI") {
if let w = Double(weight), let h = Double(height) {
let person = Person(weight: w, height: h)
bmiResult = person.calculateBMI()
}
}
if let result = bmiResult {
Text(result.rawValue).foregroundColor(result == .normal ? .green : .red)
}
}
}.padding()
Figure-wise explanations:
Figure 2’s topic: BMI Calculator App Input Screen
Users enter their weight (kg) and height (m), then tap the "Calculate BMI" button.
Figure 3’s topic: BMI Output - Underweight Condition
If the calculated BMI is below 18.5, a red message displays: "You are underweight."
Figure 4’s topic: BMI Output - Normal Weight
If the BMI is between 18.5 and 24.9, a green message displays: "Your weight is normal."
Figure 5’s topic: BMI Output - Overweight Condition
If the BMI is 25 or higher, a red message displays: "You are overweight."
