Typographical Conventions

You will be writing a lot of code as you work through this book. To make things easier, we use a couple of conventions to identify what code is old, what should be added, and what should be removed. For example, in the function implementation below, you are deleting print("Hello") and adding print("Goodbye"). The line reading func talkToMe() { and the final brace } were already in the code. They are shown to help you locate the changes.

func talkToMe() {
    print("Hello")
    print("Goodbye")
}
