In Chapter 1, we set up our development environment, which means we&rsquo;re now ready to get our hands dirty and write some actual Swift code. This chapter is all about the fundamental building blocks of any program: how we store and manage information.</p> <p>Think of programming as telling a story. To tell a story, you need characters, settings, and events. In programming, these &ldquo;characters&rdquo; and &ldquo;settings&rdquo; are often pieces of data—numbers, text, true/false values, and more. This chapter will introduce you to variables and constants, which are like named containers for this data, and basic data types, which define what kind of data those containers can hold. By the end of this chapter, you&rsquo;ll be able to declare and use these essential elements to start bringing your ideas to life in Swift!</p>
