Operators and expressions

The essential idea

Operators and expressions gives you one practical part of Swift. Start by naming the input, the change, and the expected result. This mental model matters before any syntax rule.

Run a tiny experiment

Use a minimal example. Predict what changes, run it, then explain the observed result.

// Explore Operators and expressions with one focused example.
value = 0
print(value)

Output:

0

Avoid this trap

Do not memorize Operators and expressions in isolation. Change one value in a small example and use feedback to correct your understanding.
