Swift Arrays and Collections Quiz

This quiz covers the fundamentals of working with collections in Swift, specifically arrays and dictionaries. These questions cover a range of topics including the initialization and manipulation of arrays and dictionaries, their properties and methods, and specific usage scenarios like mutable vs immutable collections, accessing and modifying data, and iterating through collections.

Using forEach() method

None

12.

What is the purpose of the randomElement() method in Swift arrays?

To access the first element in the array.

To shuffle the elements of the array.

To randomly select and return an element from the array.

To add a random element to the array.

None

13.

What is the result of the following code?

let macArray = ["MacBook Pro", "Mac mini", "MacBook Air", "Mac Studio"] 
let shuffledMacs = macArray.shuffled()

shuffledMacs contains only the first element.

shuffledMacs is an empty array.

shuffledMacs is a copy of treeArray.

shuffledMacs contains the same elements in random order.

None

14.

Which syntax correctly initializes an empty dictionary in Swift?

var dictionary = [keyType: valueType]()

var dictionary = [:]

var dictionary = [Any: Any]()

var dictionary = Dictionary()

None

15.

How can you insert an item at a specific index in an array?

array.push(item, at: index)

array.insert(item, at: index)

array.put(item, at: index)

array.add(item, at: index)

None

16.

var array = Array()

None

22.

How can you make a collection immutable in Swift?

Use the `immutable` keyword.

Assign it to a variable.

Assign it to a constant.

None
