Swift Data Types


Swift Data Types (Types of Info You Can Use)

In Swift, every piece of data belongs to a type — this tells the system what kind of value it holds.


1. Int

Used for whole numbers like 5, 100, or -7.

let age: Int = 25

2. Double

Stores numbers with decimals. Great for precise values.

let pi: Double = 3.14

3. Float

Also stores decimal values but with slightly less precision.

let temperature: Float = 36.6

4. String

Holds a bunch of letters, words, or sentences.

let greeting: String = "Hello, Swift!"

5. Bool (Boolean)

Only true or false. Useful for decision-making.

let isSwiftFun: Bool = true

6. Array

Stores a list of items, like multiple numbers or names.

let fruits: [String] = ["Apple", "Banana", "Mango"]

7. Dictionary

Stores items as key-value pairs. Like a word and its meaning.

let student: [String: String] = ["name": "Alex", "grade": "A"]

8. Optional

Might have a value, or might be empty (nil).

var middleName: String? = nil

These types help Swift understand and handle your data correctly and safely.
