Defining Methods in a Swift Structure

In Swift, structures can have methods just like classes. Methods are functions that are associated with a particular type, allowing you to perform operations and modify properties of an instance of that type.

Here’s an example of a structure with a method:

struct Car {
    var brand: String

    func startEngine() {
        print("Starting the engine of the \(brand)")
    }
}

In this example, the Car structure has a method called startEngine that simply prints a message about starting the engine.

Calling Methods on a Swift Structure

To call a method on an instance of a structure, you use dot syntax. Here’s how you would create an instance of the Car structure and call its startEngine method:

let myCar = Car(brand: "Tesla")
myCar.startEngine()

When you run this code, you’ll see the following output:

Starting the engine of the Tesla

In this example, the startEngine method is called on the myCar instance of the Car structure.

By using methods in structures, you can organize your code more efficiently and make the structure instances more interactive.
