Interview Questions for iOS Developers

Interview Questions for iOS Developers

1. Classes vs structs

In Swift, structs are value types whereas classes are reference types. When you copy a struct, you end up with two unique copies of the data. When you copy a class, you end up with two references to one instance of the data. It’s a crucial difference, and it affects your choice between classes or structs. (+ Class extendable, struct does not.)

2. What’s the difference between var and let? Which one would you choose for properties in a struct and why?

Both let and var are for creating variables in Swift. let helps you create immutable variables (constants) while on the other hand var creates mutable variables.

3. What does the mutating keyword mean?

The mutating keyword lets callers know that the method is going to make the value change.

Migrations & Seeding

What are migrations??

Migrations are a way to make database changes or updates, like creating or dropping tables, as well as updating a table with new columns with constraints via generated scripts. We can build these scripts via the command line using knex command line tool.

To learn more about migrations, check out this article on the different types of database migrations!
