Swift Data Types Quiz – Answertopia

This collection of multiple-choice questions is designed to test your understanding of Swift programming, focusing on data types, constants, and variables. Each question addresses key concepts and fundamentals necessary for effective programming in Swift.

1.

What keyword is used to declare a variable in Swift?

const

var

set

let

2.

Which of the following is true about constants in Swift?

They cannot be declared without an initial value.

They are declared using the let keyword

Their values can be changed after assignment.

They are only used for integer data types.

3.

What is the primary difference between the Float and Double data types in Swift?

Double can store more precise values than Float.

Both have the same precision but differ in size.

Float can store more precise values than Double.

Float is only used for integer numbers.

4.

Which of the following is a correct example of string interpolation in Swift?

var message = "\(userName) has \(inboxCount) messages."

var message = [userName, inboxCount].join()

var message = "Hello, " + userName

var message = String(userName, inboxCount)

5.

What is the output of the following Swift code?

let myTuple = (5, "Swift") print(myTuple.1)

(5, Swift)

5

Swift

Out of range error

6.

What does the following code do in Swift?

var index: Int?

if let index = index {
    print("Index has a value")
} else {
    print("Index is nil")
}

Always prints “Index has a value”

Automatically assigns a value to index.

Checks if index is nil and forces unwrapping.

Unwraps index if it has a value, otherwise prints “Index is nil”.

7.

What does the following code snippet represent?

var char = "\n"

Declares a Boolean variable

Declares a string with a space character

Declares a backslash character

Declares a special character for a new line

8.

In Swift, what is the purpose of an optional type?

To enforce that a variable always has a value

To indicate that a variable may not have a value

To allow variables to hold multiple values

To allow variables to change data types dynamically

9.

Which of the following is used to handle optional values in Swift safely?

try

guard

switch

if let

10.

What is the default value of a variable declared with var in Swift if not explicitly initialized?

nil

0

Compilation error

false

11.

What is the primary purpose of the Swift programming language?

To simplify app development by using a syntax similar to C++

To improve performance in graphics-intensive games

To replace Objective-C with a more modern syntax

To create new programming languages for other operating systems

12.

Which Swift data type is recommended for most integer values due to platform efficiency?

Int8

Int32

Int

Int16

13.

What does the Swift Float data type store?

Whole numbers without decimal places

32-bit floating-point numbers with moderate precision

Single characters or symbols

64-bit floating-point numbers with high precision

14.

Which of the following Swift types allows you to store multiple values of different types together?

Tuple

Dictionary

Set

Array

15.

Which keyword is used in Swift for type casting when you are certain of the conversion?

as!

as?

is

18.

What keyword is used in Swift to declare a variable that can hold a value of any type?

Dynamic

Object

var

Any

19.

What type of value can be stored in a Swift Bool data type?

Floating-point number

True or False

Integer

String

20.

Which of the following is a way to perform downcasting in Swift?

as?

is

as!

as

21.

What is the syntax for declaring a variable with a type annotation in Swift?

name: Type

var name: Type

var name

let name = Type

22.

How do you create a multiline string literal in Swift?

Using parentheses

Using single quotes

Using triple quotes

Using curly braces
