Struct是值类型。这意味着，如果你将结构的实例复制到另一个变量，它只是复制到变量。

值类型示例

struct Resolution {
    var width = 2
    var height = 3
}

let hd = Resolution(width: 1920, height: 1080)
var cinema = hd //assigning struct instance  to variable
println("Width of cinema instance is \(cinema.width)")//result is 1920
println("Width of hd instance is \(hd.width)")//result is 1920

cinema.width = 2048

println("Width of cinema instance is \(cinema.width)")//result is 2048
println("Width of hd instance is \(hd.width)")//result is 1920

类是引用类型。这意味着如果将类的一个实例赋值给一个变量，它将只保存对该实例的引用，而不是副本。

下面是一个例子，它精确地显示了struct和class之间的区别。

在操场上写的代码的截图

struct Radio1{
    var name:String
    //    init(name:String) {
    //        self.name = name
    //    }
}

struct Car1{
    var radio:Radio1?
    var model:String

}

var i1 = Car1(radio: Radio1(name:"murphy"),model:"sedan")
var i2 = i1
//since car instance i1 is a struct and 
//this car has every member as struct ,
//all values are copied into i2

i2.radio?.name //murphy
i2.radio = Radio1(name: "alpha")
i2.radio?.name //alpha

i1.radio?.name //murphy

//since Radio1 was struct , 
//values were copied and thus
// changing name  of instance of Radio1 in i2 
//did not bring change in i1

class Radio2{
    var name:String
    init(name:String) {
        self.name = name
    }
}

struct Car2{
    var radio:Radio2?
    var model:String

}
var i3 = Car2(radio: Radio2(name:"murphy"),model:"sedan")
//var radioInstance = Radio2(name: "murphy")
//var i3 = Car2(radio: radioInstance,model:"sedan")

var i4 = i3
//since i3 is instance of struct
//everything is copied to i4 including reference of instance of Radio2
//because Radio2 is a class



i4.radio?.name //murphy
i4.radio?.name="alpha"
i4.radio?.name //alpha

i3.radio?.name //alpha

//since Radio2 was class, 
//reference was copied and 
//thus changing name of instance 
//of Radio2 in i4 did  bring change in i3 too


//i4.radio?.name
//i4.radio = Radio2(name: "alpha")
//i4.radio?.name
//
//i3.radio?.name

Usually (in most programming languages), objects are blocks of data that are stored on heap, and then a reference (normally a pointer) to these blocks, contains a name is using to access these blocks of data. This mechanism allows sharing objects in the heap by copying the value of their references (pointers). This is not the case of basic data types such as Integers, and that is because the memory needed to create a reference is almost the same as the object (in this case integer value). Thus, they will be passed as values not as a reference in the case of large objects.

Swift使用struct来提高String和Array对象的性能。

这是一本很好的读物

类和结构都可以做到:

定义属性来存储值 定义提供功能的方法 被扩展 遵守协议 定义初始化 定义下标以提供对其变量的访问

唯一的类可以做到:

继承 铸字 定义deinitialisers 允许多个引用进行引用计数。

斯威夫特类型

命名类型或标称类型或有名称的类型 复合类型或非名义类型或没有名称的类型

值类型是一种类型，其值在赋值给变量或常量、传递给函数或从函数返回时被复制。(as and is检查构造的副本)

当引用类型被赋值给变量或常量，或者被传递给函数时，引用类型不会被复制

值类型:

Struct, Enum[About]，元组 struct String, struct Array(Set, Dictionary)

(objective - c int…)

字符串，内置集合值类型包含对堆的内部引用，以管理它的大小

当您分配或传递值类型时，将创建数据的新副本。copy on write - COW机制用于某些特定的类(如Collections(Array, Dictionary, Set))[About]，并进行了一些优化，例如在修改对象时创建副本。对于自定义类型，您应该自己支持COW 当你修改一个实例时，它只在局部起作用。 如果Value为局部变量，则使用堆栈内存[关于]

引用类型: 类,函数

(Objective-C所有其他)

使用ARC

当你分配或传递引用类型时，一个新的引用将被创建到原始实例(实例的地址被复制)。 当您修改一个实例时，它会产生全局影响，因为该实例可以被指向它的任何引用共享和访问。 通常使用堆内存[大约]

建议默认为“type”。Value类型的最大优点是它们通常是线程安全的

参考类型

它们可以遗传， 可以使用Deinit ()， 通过引用===比较实例， Objective-C互操作性，因为值类型是在Swift中引入的。

在结构和类之间选择 类型 类和结构

Struct是值类型。这意味着，如果你将结构的实例复制到另一个变量，它只是复制到变量。

值类型示例

struct Resolution {
    var width = 2
    var height = 3
}

let hd = Resolution(width: 1920, height: 1080)
var cinema = hd //assigning struct instance  to variable
println("Width of cinema instance is \(cinema.width)")//result is 1920
println("Width of hd instance is \(hd.width)")//result is 1920

cinema.width = 2048

println("Width of cinema instance is \(cinema.width)")//result is 2048
println("Width of hd instance is \(hd.width)")//result is 1920

类是引用类型。这意味着如果将类的一个实例赋值给一个变量，它将只保存对该实例的引用，而不是副本。
