🧬 Swift Basics: Static

A concise, runnable Swift Playground demonstrating static type properties.

📖 Overview

In Swift, a static property belongs to the type itself rather than to any single instance — every instance shares the one stored value. This Playground is a short, runnable learning example that shows exactly that: a struct with a static counter that is incremented from the initializer, so the value keeps climbing across every instance created.

It is meant as a quick reference for understanding the difference between instance properties and type-level (static) properties.

🧠 What it covers

• Declaring a static stored property on a struct.
• How a static property is shared across all instances rather than copied per-instance.
• Mutating a type property from inside an init, so it accumulates as new instances are created.
• Accessing a static property through the type name (StaticStruct.property2) versus reading an instance property (staticObject1.property).

🚀 Getting Started

git clone https://github.com/ahmetbostanciklioglu/Static.git
cd Static

Unzip StaticTypes.playground.zip, then open StaticTypes.playground in Xcode. The Playground executes automatically and prints the results in the console / sidebar.

📋 Requirements

• Xcode 12 or later
• Swift 5.0+
• Runs on the iOS Playground target
