ExpressibleByFloatLiteral
A type that can be initialized with a floating-point literal.
protocol ExpressibleByFloatLiteral
The standard library floating-point types—Float
, Double
, and Float80
where available—all conform to the ExpressibleByFloatLiteral
protocol. You can initialize a variable or constant of any of these types by assigning a floating-point literal.
// Type inferred as 'Double'
let threshold = 6.0
// An array of 'Double'
let measurements = [2.2, 4.1, 3.65, 4.2, 9.1]
Conforming to ExpressibleByFloatLiteral
To add ExpressibleByFloatLiteral
conformance to your custom type, implement the required initializer.
Requirements
associatedtype FloatLiteralType : _ExpressibleByBuiltinFloatLiteral
A type that represents a floating-point literal.
init(floatLiteral: Self.FloatLiteralType
) Creates an instance initialized to the specified floating-point value.
