为什么需要Optional
- Objective-C里面的nil是无类型指针，不同那个类型无法区别。
- Objective-C
- Objective-C中的所有对性都可以设置为nil，运行的时候不能直接判定当前对象是否为空。
- Objective-C里面的nil只能使用在对象上，而其他类型则需要其他值表示，比如NSNotFound。也就是说值缺失的情况有了不同的表达方式。
Optional
-
变量类型后面加上?表示可选类型，有两层含义：
- 这里有值，等于x
- 这里根本没有值，即值为空
-
可以给可选变量设置为nil表示值为空
- 在Objective-C中，nil表示一个纸箱不存在对象的指针
- 在Swift中，nil不是指针，他是值缺失的一中特殊类型，任何类型的可选项 都可以设置为nil而不仅仅是对象类型
可选项的使用
可选项无法直接使用，如果要使用可选项可以通过以下四种方式：
强制解包
使用!号强制解包，如果可选项有值，则代码可以正常运行；如果可选项值缺失（即为nil)则运行时则会发生错误：
Execution was interrupted, reason: EXC_BAD_INSTRUCTION (code=EXC_I386_INVOP, subcode=0x0).
Fatal error: Unexpectedly found nil while unwrapping an Optional value
var str: String? = "abc"
print(str!.count)
可选绑定
- 可以使用可选项绑定判断可选项是否包含值，如果包含值就赋给一个临时的变量或者常量。
- 可选绑定可以与if或者while一起使用检查可选项内部的值，并付给常量或者变量。
- 同一个if语句可以进行多个可选项绑定，如果其中一个为nil或者Bool类型值为false，if表达式值即为false。
var name: String? = "Mary"
var age: Int? = 20
if let name = name, let age = age {
print("\(name) is \(age) years old.")
}
var weather: String? = nil
if let weather = weather {
print("It is a \(weather) day.")
} else {
print("Today may be a sunny day.")
}
Mary is 20 years old.
Today may be a sunny day.
可选绑定有三种方式：
- if: 大括号内使用解包之后的值
- swich
- guard：解包之后直接使用，不许用大括号包裹；多个需要解包的值时，避免金字塔灾难，推荐使用此方式。
let str: Optional<String> = "abc" //equals to : let str1: String? = "abc"
if let str1 = str {
print(str1.count)
}
if str != nil {
print(str.unsafelyUnwrapped.count)
}
switch str {
case .none:
print("Empty string!")
case .some(let str2):
print("str = \(str2) count = \(str2.count)")
}
enum UnpackError : Error {
case emptyString(message: String)
}
guard let str3 = str else {
throw UnpackError.emptyString(message: "Empty String")
}
print("str = \(str3) count = \(str3.count)")
隐式展开
- 有些可选项在设定值之后，就会一直拥有，这种情况下就没有必要每次使用的时候都去检查。
- 使用方法：类型后面用!号而非?号
- 主要用于Swift类的初始化过程中
var str: String! = "abc"
print(str.count)
可选链
- 可选项后面加上?号
- 如果可选项有值返回可选结果，否则返回nil。
var str: String? = "abc"
print("\(String(describing: str?.count))")
注意打印的结果：
Optional(3)
Optional实现探究
- Optional并不是语言内置特性而是标准库里面的一个enum类型。
- Optional是用标准库实现语言特性的典型。
- 以下是optional的部分源代码：
- Optional.none--->nil
- Optional.some--->包装了实际值
- 可以用Optional枚举类型定义可选项
- Optional.unsafelyUnwrapped来获取可选项的值。
/// A type that represents either a wrapped value or `nil`, the absence of a
/// value.
///
/// You use the `Optional` type whenever you use optional values, even if you
/// never type the word `Optional`. Swift's type system usually shows the
/// wrapped type's name with a trailing question mark (`?`) instead of showing
/// the full type name. For example, if a variable has the type `Int?`, that's
/// just another way of writing `Optional<Int>`. The shortened form is
/// preferred for ease of reading and writing code.
///
/// The types of `shortForm` and `longForm` in the following code sample are
/// the same:
///
/// let shortForm: Int? = Int("42")
/// let longForm: Optional<Int> = Int("42")
///
/// The `Optional` type is an enumeration with two cases. `Optional.none` is
/// equivalent to the `nil` literal. `Optional.some(Wrapped)` stores a wrapped
/// value. For example:
///
/// let number: Int? = Optional.some(42)
/// let noNumber: Int? = Optional.none
/// print(noNumber == nil)
/// // Prints "true"
///
/// You must unwrap the value of an `Optional` instance before you can use it
/// in many contexts. Because Swift provides several ways to safely unwrap
/// optional values, you can choose the one that helps you write clear,
/// concise code.
///
/// The following examples use this dictionary of image names and file paths:
///
/// let imagePaths = ["star": "/glyphs/star.png",
/// "portrait": "/images/content/portrait.jpg",
/// "spacer": "/images/shared/spacer.gif"]
///
/// Getting a dictionary's value using a key returns an optional value, so
/// `imagePaths["star"]` has type `Optional<String>` or, written in the
/// preferred manner, `String?`.
///
/// Optional Binding
/// ----------------
///
/// To conditionally bind the wrapped value of an `Optional` instance to a new
/// variable, use one of the optional binding control structures, including
/// `if let`, `guard let`, and `switch`.
///
/// if let starPath = imagePaths["star"] {
/// print("The star image is at '\(starPath)'")
/// } else {
/// print("Couldn't find the star image")
/// }
/// // Prints "The star image is at '/glyphs/star.png'"
///
/// Optional Chaining
/// -----------------
///
/// To safely access the properties and methods of a wrapped instance, use the
/// postfix optional chaining operator (postfix `?`). The following example uses
/// optional chaining to access the `hasSuffix(_:)` method on a `String?`
/// instance.
///
/// if imagePaths["star"]?.hasSuffix(".png") == true {
/// print("The star image is in PNG format")
/// }
/// // Prints "The star image is in PNG format"
///
/// Using the Nil-Coalescing Operator
/// ---------------------------------
///
/// Use the nil-coalescing operator (`??`) to supply a default value in case
/// the `Optional` instance is `nil`. Here a default path is supplied for an
/// image that is missing from `imagePaths`.
///
/// let defaultImagePath = "/images/default.png"
/// let heartPath = imagePaths["heart"] ?? defaultImagePath
/// print(heartPath)
/// // Prints "/images/default.png"
///
/// The `??` operator also works with another `Optional` instance on the
/// right-hand side. As a result, you can chain multiple `??` operators
/// together.
///
/// let shapePath = imagePaths["cir"] ?? imagePaths["squ"] ?? defaultImagePath
/// print(shapePath)
/// // Prints "/images/default.png"
///
/// Unconditional Unwrapping
/// ------------------------
///
/// When you're certain that an instance of `Optional` contains a value, you
/// can unconditionally unwrap the value by using the forced
/// unwrap operator (postfix `!`). For example, the result of the failable `Int`
/// initializer is unconditionally unwrapped in the example below.
///
/// let number = Int("42")!
/// print(number)
/// // Prints "42"
///
/// You can also perform unconditional optional chaining by using the postfix
/// `!` operator.
///
/// let isPNG = imagePaths["star"]!.hasSuffix(".png")
/// print(isPNG)
/// // Prints "true"
///
/// Unconditionally unwrapping a `nil` instance with `!` triggers a runtime
/// error.
public enum Optional<Wrapped> : ExpressibleByNilLiteral {
/// The absence of a value.
///
/// In code, the absence of a value is typically written using the `nil`
/// literal rather than the explicit `.none` enumeration case.
case none
/// The presence of a value, stored as `Wrapped`.
case some(Wrapped)
/// Creates an instance that stores the given value.
public init(_ some: Wrapped)
/// Creates an instance initialized with `nil`.
///
/// Do not call this initializer directly. It is used by the compiler when you
/// initialize an `Optional` instance with a `nil` literal. For example:
///
/// var i: Index? = nil
///
/// In this example, the assignment to the `i` variable calls this
/// initializer behind the scenes.
public init(nilLiteral: ())
/// The wrapped value of this instance, unwrapped without checking whether
/// the instance is `nil`.
///
/// The `unsafelyUnwrapped` property provides the same value as the forced
/// unwrap operator (postfix `!`). However, in optimized builds (`-O`), no
/// check is performed to ensure that the current instance actually has a
/// value. Accessing this property in the case of a `nil` value is a serious
/// programming error and could lead to undefined behavior or a runtime
/// error.
///
/// In debug builds (`-Onone`), the `unsafelyUnwrapped` property has the same
/// behavior as using the postfix `!` operator and triggers a runtime error
/// if the instance is `nil`.
///
/// The `unsafelyUnwrapped` property is recommended over calling the
/// `unsafeBitCast(_:)` function because the property is more restrictive
/// and because accessing the property still performs checking in debug
/// builds.
///
/// - Warning: This property trades safety for performance. Use
/// `unsafelyUnwrapped` only when you are confident that this instance
/// will never be equal to `nil` and only after you've tried using the
/// postfix `!` operator.
@inlinable public var unsafelyUnwrapped: Wrapped { get }
}
extension Optional : Equatable where Wrapped : Equatable {
/// Returns a Boolean value indicating whether two optional instances are
/// equal.
///
/// Use this equal-to operator (`==`) to compare any two optional instances of
/// a type that conforms to the `Equatable` protocol. The comparison returns
/// `true` if both arguments are `nil` or if the two arguments wrap values
/// that are equal. Conversely, the comparison returns `false` if only one of
/// the arguments is `nil` or if the two arguments wrap values that are not
/// equal.
///
/// let group1 = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
/// let group2 = [1, 3, 5, 7, 9]
/// if group1.first == group2.first {
/// print("The two groups start the same.")
/// }
/// // Prints "The two groups start the same."
///
/// You can also use this operator to compare a non-optional value to an
/// optional that wraps the same type. The non-optional value is wrapped as an
/// optional before the comparison is made. In the following example, the
/// `numberToMatch` constant is wrapped as an optional before comparing to the
/// optional `numberFromString`:
///
/// let numberToFind: Int = 23
/// let numberFromString: Int? = Int("23") // Optional(23)
/// if numberToFind == numberFromString {
/// print("It's a match!")
/// }
/// // Prints "It's a match!"
///
/// An instance that is expressed as a literal can also be used with this
/// operator. In the next example, an integer literal is compared with the
/// optional integer `numberFromString`. The literal `23` is inferred as an
/// `Int` instance and then wrapped as an optional before the comparison is
/// performed.
///
/// if 23 == numberFromString {
/// print("It's a match!")
/// }
/// // Prints "It's a match!"

/// - lhs: An optional value to compare.

///
/// This operator uses short-circuit evaluation: `optional` is checked first,

/// let notSoGoodNumber = Int("invalid-input") ?? Int("42")
