To properly adopt the StringProtocol for a custom struct in Swift, you need to ensure that your struct conforms to the requirements of the StringProtocol. This involves implementing the necessary properties and methods that the protocol requires.
While the specific details of StringProtocol were not covered in the provided context, generally, you would start by defining your struct and then extending it to conform to the protocol. Here's a basic outline of how you might approach this:
struct MyString: StringProtocol {
// Implement required properties and methods here
}
You would need to refer to the Swift documentation for StringProtocol to see the exact requirements, as the protocol may require you to implement properties like startIndex, endIndex, and methods for accessing characters, among others.
