Organizing with Bookmarks

Swift offers special bookmarking keywords to support code organization:

  • You can document code issues by adding TODO: and FIXME: comments.

  • You can use MARK: to subdivide your code’s named sections.

Here are examples of what these bookmarks look like in code:

​ ​// TODO: swift-3-indexing-model - add docs​
​ 
​ ​// TODO: (TBD) Add canary to array​
​ ​// Putting a canary at the end of the array​
​ ​// in checked builds might be a good idea​
​ 
​ ​// TODO: Optimize where `C` is a `ContiguousArrayBuffer`.​
​ 
​ ​// FIXME: (Fixme) Add tests (since the `count` has been added)​
​ 
​ ​// FIXME: (Issue) This section is taking too many cycles.​
​ ​// (Does this need `redraw` content mode?)​
​ 
​ ​// MARK: - Collection -​

QuotationMarkI wanted to learn C and C++, but it didn't click for me until I picked up an O'Reilly book. When I went on the O’Reilly platform, I was astonished to find all the books there, plus live events and sandboxes so you could play around with the technology.

QuotationMarkI'm always learning. So when I got on to O'Reilly, I was like a kid in a candy store. There are playlists. There are answers. There's on-demand training. It's worth its weight in gold, in terms of what it allows me to do.
