Swift Data Types Quiz

This collection of multiple-choice questions is designed to test your understanding of Swift programming, focusing on data types, constants, and variables. Each question addresses key concepts and fundamentals necessary for effective programming in Swift.

What keyword is used to declare a variable in Swift?

let

const

set

var

None

Which of the following is true about constants in Swift?

They are declared using the let keyword

Their values can be changed after assignment.

They cannot be declared without an initial value.

They are only used for integer data types.

None

What is the primary difference between the Float and Double data types in Swift?

Double can store more precise values than Float.

Float is only used for integer numbers.

Float can store more precise values than Double.

Both have the same precision but differ in size.

None

Which of the following is a correct example of string interpolation in Swift?

var message = "\(userName) has \(inboxCount) messages."

var message = [userName, inboxCount].join()

var message = "Hello, " + userName

var message = String(userName, inboxCount)

None

What is the output of the following Swift code?

let myTuple = (5, "Swift") print(myTuple.1)

(5, Swift)

Out of range error

Swift

None

What does the following code do in Swift?

var index: Int?

if let index = index {
    print("Index has a value")
} else {
    print("Index is nil")
}

Checks if index is nil and forces unwrapping.

Unwraps index if it has a value, otherwise prints “Index is nil”.

Always prints “Index has a value”

Automatically assigns a value to index.

None

What does the following code snippet represent?

var char = "\n"

Declares a backslash character

Declares a Boolean variable

Declares a string with a space character

Declares a special character for a new line

None

In Swift, what is the purpose of an optional type?

To enforce that a variable always has a value

To allow variables to hold multiple values

To indicate that a variable may not have a value

To allow variables to change data types dynamically

None

Which of the following is used to handle optional values in Swift safely?

try

if let

switch

guard

None

10.

What is the default value of a variable declared with var in Swift if not explicitly initialized?

false

Compilation error

nil

None

11.

What is the primary purpose of the Swift programming language?

To create new programming languages for other operating systems

To improve performance in graphics-intensive games

To replace Objective-C with a more modern syntax

To simplify app development by using a syntax similar to C++

None

12.

Which Swift data type is recommended for most integer values due to platform efficiency?
