Execution Table

Step	Action	Code Evaluated	Output
1	Start program	print("Hello, Swift!")
2	Evaluate print statement	print("Hello, Swift!")	Hello, Swift!

Key Moments - 2 Insights

Is Swift a program or a language?

Swift is a language, not a program. The execution_table shows the code being run, not the language itself.

What does the print statement do?

The print statement outputs text to the screen, as shown in step 2 of the execution_table.

Visual Quiz - 3 Questions

Look at the execution_table, what is printed at step 2?

A Nothing

B print("Hello, Swift!")

C Hello, Swift!

D Error

💡 Hint

Check the Output column at step 2 in the execution_table.

At which step does the program end?

A Step 3

B Step 2

C Step 1

D Never ends

💡 Hint

Look at the Action column to find when the program ends.

If we change the print text to "Hi!", what changes in the execution_table?

A Code Evaluated at step 1 changes

B Output at step 2 changes to "Hi!"

C Program ends earlier

D No changes

💡 Hint

Focus on the Output column at step 2 in the execution_table.

Full Transcript

Swift is a programming language created by Apple. It helps developers build apps for iPhones, iPads, Macs, and more. Swift is designed to be easy to learn and fast to use. For example, the code print("Hello, Swift!") will show the message Hello, Swift! on the screen. This simple example shows how Swift runs code step-by-step, printing output and then ending the program.
