page 53, first paragraph, 8th sentence |
In PDF edition: page 53, first paragraph, 8th sentence reads:
"Inside the function doThis there no whatADogSays."
The verb "is" appears to be missing from the sentence.
Shouldn't the sentence read: "Inside the function doThis there is no whatADogSays."

5th paragraph |
Text in this paragraph says:
produces the image of a rounded rectangle of size 45,30.
However the code before, after and elsewhere uses 45,20 (vs 45,30), e.g. CGSizeMake(45,20). So I expect the line should instead read:
produces the image of a rounded rectangle of size 45,20.
Minor, but I scratched my head. Especially as the next sentence is "You don't believe me?" :)

Section "Int", 3rd paragraph |
Page 78, section "Int", 3rd paragraph reads:
"You can write a numeric literal using scientific notation. Everything after the letter e is the exponent of 10; for example, 3e2 is 3 times 102 (300)."
Isn't "e" notation a Double? Shouldn't the Double value be explicitly converted to an Int?
Shouldn't the second sentence (quoted above) read: "Everything after the letter e is the exponent of 10; for example, Int(3e2) is 3 times 102 (300)."

Didn't know this! So weird that I'm adding a full-fledged Warning note. |

3rd paragraph |
It looks like "hello" was "howdy" in an earlier version of the book and the text explaining find needs to be updated.
The text in my pdf & epub (including 3 previous lines for context):
find reports the index of a character (as an Optional):
let s = "hello"
let ix = find(s,"o") // 4, wrapped in an Optional
All Swift indexes are numbered starting with 0, so 1 means the second element; thus, that code is telling you that "o" is found in "howdy" as its second character.
I suspect the sentence should read:
All Swift indexes are numbered starting with 0, so 4 means the fifth element; thus, that code is telling you that "o" is found in "hello" as its fifth character.

2nd paragraph |
I think you meant "postfix" not "postix" in the following text:
unwrap the Optional with the question mark postix operator
I.e., I expect it would read:
unwrap the Optional with the question mark postfix operator

Second paragraph |
„If the reference to an array is mutable, the instance method removeAtIndex removes the element at that index; the instance methods removeFirst and removeLast remove the first and last elements.“
removeFirst method does not exist for Array, only for Set (Swift
Note from the Author or Editor:
You're perfectly right, but of course the situation in Swift 2.0 is different yet again. |

9th Paragraph(?) towards the bottom of the page |
On p497 of the PDF the 9th(?) paragraph reads:
Our intention is eventually to unregister the observer; that’s why we’re keeping a reference
to it. It’s natural to do this in viewWillDisappear::
override func viewDidDisappear(animated: Bool) {
super.viewDidDisappear(animated)
NSNotificationCenter.defaultCenter().removeObserver(self.observer)
}
I just wish to determine if it is viewWillDisappear (as per the copy) or ViewDidDisappear (as per the code).
Note from the Author or Editor:
Good catch and certainly I should make this cohere, but of course either will do. |
