In Swift, we can use the * symbol to multiply numbers. When it comes to using times, we can use * with a number on the left side and a variable or another number on the right side to signify multiplication.
Let's take a look at a few examples:
let number = 5
let result = number * 3 // 15
In this example, we are multiplying the variable number by the number 3. The result will be 15.
let age = 25
let dogYears = age * 7 // 175
Here, we are using times to convert the variable age into dog years by multiplying it by 7.
let cost = 12.99
let quantity = 3
let totalCost = cost * Double(quantity) // 38.97
In this example, we are calculating the total cost by multiplying the cost per item (cost) by the quantity (quantity) and casting the result to a Double in order to avoid a type mismatch error. The result will be 38.97.
These are just a few examples of how to use times in Swift. Using multiplication in your code can be helpful for various calculations and operations.
