Swift Data Types Quiz – Answertopia

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

set

const

var

None

Which of the following is true about constants in Swift?

Their values can be changed after assignment.

They are declared using the let keyword

They are only used for integer data types.

They cannot be declared without an initial value.

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 = String(userName, inboxCount)

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

var message = "Hello, " + userName

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

None

What is the output of the following Swift code?

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

Swift

Out of range error

(5, 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.

Automatically assigns a value to index.

Always prints “Index has a value”

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

None

What does the following code snippet represent?

var char = "\n"

Declares a Boolean variable

Declares a string with a space character

Declares a special character for a new line

Declares a backslash character

None

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

To allow variables to change data types dynamically

To allow variables to hold multiple values

To enforce that a variable always has a value

To indicate that a variable may not have a value

None

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

if let

switch

try

guard

None

10.

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

nil

false

Compilation error

None

11.

What is the primary purpose of the Swift programming language?

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

To replace Objective-C with a more modern syntax

To improve performance in graphics-intensive games

To create new programming languages for other operating systems

None

12.

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