iOS 개발자를 위한 Swift 면접 질문 Top 25

// let = constant, immutable value
let maximumAttempts = 3
// maximumAttempts = 5  // ❌ Compile error

// var = variable, mutable value
var currentAttempt = 0
currentAttempt += 1  // ✅ OK

// Careful with reference types
class User {
    var name: String
    init(name: String) { self.name = name }

let user = User(name: "Alice")

// user = User(name: "Charlie")  // ❌ Error - reassignment forbidden

// Declaring an optional with ?
var username: String? = nil  // Can hold a String or nil

// Optional binding with if let (safe unwrapping)
if let name = username {
    print("Hello, \(name)")  // Only executes if username != nil
} else {

    }

}

// Nil-coalescing operator (??) for default value
let displayName = username ?? "Anonymous"

// Force unwrapping (!) - DANGEROUS, avoid this
// let forced = username!  // Crashes if nil

// Struct = value type (copy)

    var x: Int

}

var p2 = p1      // Independent copy
