What interview techniques should you use to hire the best Swift developers?
When hiring a skilled Swift developer it is important to test out their knowledge of the program, in order to assess their abilities. At Cloud Employee, we encourage you to ask your candidate a few questions that will put their knowledge of Swift to the test.
Q: Consider the following code:
var array1 = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
var array2 = array1
array2.append(6)
var len = array1.count
What’s the value of the len variable, and why?
A: The len variable is equal to 5, meaning that array1 has 5 elements, whereas array2 has 6 elements:
array1 = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
array2 = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]
Q: Consider this code:
let d = ["john": 23, "james": 24, "vincent": 34, "louis": 29]
let x = d.sort{ $0.1 < $1.1 }.map{ $0.0 }
What is the type of x? And what is its value?
A: When array1 is assigned to array2, a copy of array1 is actually created and assigned.
