  • Functions

  • Loops

  • Parameters

  • Conditional Code

  • Variables

  • Operators

  • Types

  • Initialization

  • Bug Fixing

Discover dozens of channels with fun new challenges created by leading developers and publishers. Subscribe to your favorites and you’ll receive their latest creations right in the app. Now there are no bounds to your playgrounds.

A new way to create code.
On the best device for learning.

Mac

Easily drag braces around code, wrap existing code in a loop, or choose from dozens of drag-and-drop snippets included in Swift Playgrounds — right from your iPad or Mac. Take full advantage of powerful Multi-Touch, multitasking, and split view capabilities on iPad. Also, enjoy the view from your Mac. The larger screen makes room for a new sidebar with a complete table of contents and quick access to other Swift files. Just tap, drag, or type text and numbers. Then interact with what you’ve created.

QuickType and coding keyboard.

Write an entire line of code with just a tap. With QuickType for code, the Shortcut Bar automatically and intelligently suggests commands as you go. When typing is the best option, iPad has an innovative keyboard designed for coding. Simply touch a key to access multiple characters, then drag to choose the one you want. Experience similar code suggestions on Mac, which comes with even more help to complete your code.

Snippets Library.

Quickly drag commonly used pieces of code from the Snippets Library to minimize typing.

Touch to edit.

Conveniently drag the boundaries of a statement around existing code.
