I was just going through the Swift document and I found that Swift allow to overload the operator just like as C++ Language. Objective-C doesn’t allow to overload the operator.
As swift document we can also say “Operator Functions”.

Let’s Overload ^ (XOR Operator) to make Power of the value

Function Prototype :
Declare function prototype with left hand side value and right and side value.

Operations in the function :
To make the power of the value we have to apply following operations

Let’s try to use with the operator :

Xcode 7.3 came with Swift 2.2 Version. I just updated to Xcode 7.3 and found following warnings because of Swift version change.

List of warnings with it’s solution:

  1. ‘var’ parameters are deprecated and will be removed in Swift 3
  2. Warning Function Var
    Warning Function Var

    Warning with:
    [code language=”obj-c”]
    func functionTest(var param:String) {
    print(param)
    }
    [/code]
    Solution:
    [code language=”obj-c”]
    func functionTest(param:String) {
    print(param)
    }
    [/code]
    If you want to update that variable inside the function then you have to create copy of that variable to do operations on that.

  3. Use of string literal for Objective-C selectors is deprecated; use ‘#selector’ instead
  4. Warning Selector
    Warning Selector

    Warning with:
    [code language=”obj-c”]
    btn.addTarget(self, action: "functionName", forControlEvents: UIControlEvents.TouchUpInside)

    OR
    [code language=”obj-c”]
    btn.addTarget(self, action: Selector("functionName"), forControlEvents: UIControlEvents.TouchUpInside)
    [/code]
    Solution:
    [code language=”obj-c”]
    btn.addTarget(self, action: #selector(ViewController.functionName), forControlEvents: UIControlEvents.TouchUpInside)

    for str in arrStr {
    print(str)
    i += 1
    }
