To synthesize variables in Swift, you can use the var keyword to declare mutable variables. Here are some key points from the WWDC sessions that might help:

  1. Declaring Variables:

    • Use var to declare a mutable variable.
    • Use let to declare an immutable variable.
    • Example:
      var x = 10
      let y = 20
      
  2. Handling Mutability:

  3. Memory Management:

    • When a var is captured by an escaping closure, its lifetime is extended, and it may need to be heap allocated.
    • Example from Explore Swift performance:
      var capturedVar = 10
      let closure = { [capturedVar] in
          print(capturedVar)
      }
      
  4. Concurrency and Data Races:

  5. Optimizing Performance:

    • Swift can optimize variable usage to avoid unnecessary copies, especially with value types like arrays.
    • Example from Explore Swift performance:
      var array = [1, 2, 3]
      var anotherArray = array
