Array - Collections - Swift Programming
Array Ordered collections of values In Swift Array, Set, Dictionary types are implemented as generic collections For arrays of most Element types, this storage is a contiguous block of memory . If you create an array, a set, or a dictionary, and assign it to a variable, the collection that is created will be mutable . This means that you can change (or mutate ) the collection after it’s created by adding, removing, or changing items in the collection. If you assign an array, a set, or a dictionary to a constant, that collection is immutable , and its size and contents cannot be changed. Arrays, like all variable-size collections in the standard library, use copy-on-write optimisation. Multiple copies of an array share the same storage until you modify one of the copies. When that happens, the array being modified replaces its storage with a uniquely owned copy of itself, which is then modified in place. Optimisations are sometimes app...
