🏗️ Swift Basics: Initializers

A concise, runnable example of how initializers set up Swift structs.

📖 Overview

Initializers are the special methods that prepare a new instance of a type for use by giving every stored property a starting value. This repository is a short, runnable learning example that walks through the different ways a Swift struct can be initialized — from the free memberwise initializer to custom init() methods and initializers added through extensions.

✨ What it covers

• Memberwise initializers — the automatic initializer a struct gets for free based on its stored properties.
• Custom initializers — writing your own init() to assign values and run setup logic such as a print.
• Default property values — how a default makes the matching argument optional at the call site.
• Using self — disambiguating a stored property from a parameter inside an initializer.
• Initializers in extensions — adding an init() in an extension so the synthesized memberwise initializer is kept alongside it.

🚀 Getting Started

git clone https://github.com/ahmetbostanciklioglu/Initializers.git
cd Initializers

Paste the snippet from README.md into an Xcode Playground (or a .swift file) and run it to watch each initializer create its instance.

📋 Requirements

• Swift 5+
• Xcode 12 or later (an Xcode Playground is enough)
