Optionals Under the Hood
• Advanced Swift Presidio Thursday 11:30PM

Optionals
Use optionals to safely work with possibly missing values
• Missing values are nil
• Present values are wrapped in an optional

Optionals
Unwrap an optional to access its underlying value
• Use the forced-unwrapping operator (!) only if you are sure
• Use if let optional binding to test and unwrap at the same time

Optionals
Unwrap an optional to access its underlying value
• Use the forced-unwrapping operator (!) only if you are sure
• Use if let optional binding to test and unwrap at the same time
Optional chaining (?) is a concise way to work with chained optionals

Weak References
class Apartment {

class Person {

self.home = apt

var tenant: Person?

Weak References
class Apartment {

class Person {

var tenant: Person?weak

Weak References
apts[507] = nil

Using Weak References
Weak references are optional values

Binding the optional produces a strong reference
if let tenant = apt.tenant {
tenant.buzzIn()
}

Binding the optional produces a strong reference
if let tenant = apt.tenant {
tenant.buzzIn()
}
apt.tenant?.buzzIn()

Testing a weak reference alone does not produce a strong reference
if apt.tenant {
apt.tenant!.cashRentCheck()
apt.tenant!.greet()
}

Testing a weak reference alone does not produce a strong reference
Chaining doesn't preserve a strong reference between method invocations
if apt.tenant {
apt.tenant!.cashRentCheck()
apt.tenant!.greet()
}
apt.tenant?.cashRentCheck()
apt.tenant?.greet()

Same-Lifetime Relationships
class Person {
var card: CreditCard?
}

class Person {
}
class CreditCard {
holder: Personlet

class Person {
}
class CreditCard {
holder: Person
init(holder: Person) {
self.holder = holder
}
}
let

class Person {
}
class CreditCard {
!
!
}
}
let holder: Person

class Person {
}
class CreditCard {
!
!
}
}
letweak holder: Person

class Person {
}
class CreditCard {
!
!
}
}
letweak holder: Person?

class Person {
}
class CreditCard {
!
!
}
}
weak holder: Personvar ?

Unowned References
class Person {
}
class CreditCard {
!
!
}
}
holder: Personlet

Unowned References
class Person {
}
class CreditCard {
!
!
}
}
holder: Personletunowned

Unowned References
Person
renters

Unowned References
customers["Elsvette"]!.saveCard()
Person
renters
card
CreditCard
holder

Unowned References
customers["Elsvette"] = nil
Person
card
CreditCard
holder

Unowned References
customers["Elsvette"] = nil

Using Unowned References
let holder = card.holder

Using Unowned References
let holder = card.holder
card.holder.charge(2.19)

Strong, Weak, and Unowned References

Use strong references from owners to the objects they own

Use weak references among objects with independent lifetimes

Use unowned references from owned objects with the same lifetime

Memory Management
Automatic, safe, predictable
Think about relationships between objects
Model ownership using strong, weak, and unowned references
