Objective-C and Swift are programming languages used to develop apps for Apple platforms. Objective-C was developed in the 1980s and has since been replaced by Swift, which was introduced in 2014. While the two languages share some similarities like curly braces and square brackets, Swift addresses issues with Objective-C like bulky syntax and lack of features like generics through its cleaner syntax and strong typing.
Objectivec vs swift
- 1. Objective C vs Swift
- 2. Objective C ● Object-oriented programming language ● Developed in the early 1980s (NeXTSTEP) ● Files have .h and .mm file extensions, C header files ● Created primarily by Brad Cox ● Messages,Interface,Implementation,Instantiation ● 2014, Apple announced plans to replace Objective-C new Swift language
- 3. Worst things about Objective-C ● Bulky syntax,Squared brackets,Memory management ● No Generics,No enums,No operator overloading ● Dealloc won't be called automatically ● More Complex object sort ● Publishing an Apple app is a nightmare ● No Generics
- 4. Swift ● Father is Chris Latter(july 2010) ● Functional,Fast,Funny,Happy ● Variable name,Tuples, No pointers ● Function with multiple return values ● Apple Swift has clean syntax
- 5. Similarities to Objective-C ● Curly braces are used to group statements. ● A new identity operator, ===, is provided to check if two data elements refer to the same object. ● Square brackets are used with arrays, both to declare them and to get a value at a given index in one of them. ● Control statements are similar. ● Class methods are inherited, just like instance methods; self in class methods is the class the method was called on.
- 6. Differences from Objective-C ● No semicolon, Header files, Exception handling ● Strong typing,Type inference ● Fallthrough for switch case
- 7. Differences from Objective-C ● No semicolon, Header files, Exception handling ● Strong typing,Type inference ● Fallthrough for switch case
