Swift Generics provide a general solution in code that can handle various types. In this video I break down the syntax and use cases for Generics in Swift by going through a number of examples (basic and real life). We talk about protocol conformance and single letter variable names. Then I explain why you should be careful with Generics and not use them everywhere in your code.
This tutorial was created using Xcode 14 and iOS 16.
