Here's two different ways to write the same code in iOS (Swift): Which of the following statements are correct?
Easy Registration Queue Logic Queues Sorting By Custom Order	Solve
We want to register students for the next semester. All students have a receipt which shows the amount pending for the previous semester. A positive amount (or zero) represents that the student has paid extra fees, and a negative amount represents that they have pending fees to be paid. The students are in a queue for the registration. We want to arrange the students in a way such that the students who have a positive amount on the receipt get registered first as compared to the students who have a negative amount. We are given a queue in the form of an array containing the pending amount. For example, if the initial queue is [20, 70, -40, 30, -10], then the final queue will be [20, 70, 30, -40, -10]. Note that the sequence of students should not be changed while arranging them unless required to meet the condition. ⚠️⚠️⚠️ Note: - The first line of the input is the length of the array. The second line contains all the elements of the array. - The input is already parsed into an array of "strings" and passed to a function. You will need to convert string to integer/number type inside the function. - You need to "print" the final result (not return it) to pass the test cases. For the example discussed above, the input will be: 5 20 70 -40 30 -10 Your code needs to print the following to the standard output: 20 70 30 -40 -10
Medium Visitors Count Strings Logic String Parsing Character Counting	Solve
A manager hires a staff member to keep a record of the number of men, women, and children visiting the museum daily. The staff will note W if any women visit, M for men, and C for children. You need to write code that takes the string that represents the visits and prints the count of men, woman and children. The sequencing should be in decreasing order. Example: Input: WWMMWWCCC Expected Output: 4W3C2M Explanation: ‘W’ has the highest count, then ‘C’, then ‘M’. ⚠️⚠️⚠️ Note: - The input is already parsed and passed to a function. - You need to "print" the final result (not return it) to pass the test cases. - If the input is- “MMW”, then the expected output is "2M1W" since there is no ‘C’. - If any of them have the same count, the output should follow this order - M, W, C.

Swift Syntax: Swift Syntax refers to the rules and structure of the Swift programming language. It encompasses the various components such as variables, functions, control flow, and object-oriented concepts that enable developers to write efficient and readable code.

Memory management in Swift: Memory management in Swift involves managing the allocation and deallocation of memory resources to ensure efficient memory usage and prevent memory leaks in applications. It includes concepts such as reference counting, automatic memory management with ARC (Automatic Reference Counting), and strong, weak, and unowned references.

Error handling in Swift: Error handling in Swift allows developers to handle, propagate, and recover from errors gracefully. It involves using mechanisms like do-catch blocks, throwing and catching errors, and handling different types of errors, such as runtime errors and domain-specific errors.

Data structures in Swift: Data structures in Swift represent the organization and storage of data in memory. They provide efficient ways to store, access, and manipulate data. Common data structures include arrays, dictionaries, stacks, queues, and linked lists.

Networking in iOS: Networking in iOS involves the integration of network connectivity and communication in iOS applications. It includes concepts such as making HTTP/HTTPS requests, handling response data, implementing RESTful APIs, and using libraries like URLSession or Alamofire for network operations.

User Interface design in iOS: User Interface design in iOS focuses on creating visually appealing, intuitive, and user-friendly interfaces for iOS applications. It involves using the UIKit framework, designing layouts with constraints and auto layout, implementing user interactions, and incorporating design principles to provide a seamless user experience.

Core Data framework: The Core Data framework in iOS provides an object-oriented approach to managing the model layer of an application. It enables developers to store, retrieve, and manipulate data as objects, while handling complex data relationships and providing features like data persistence, versioning, and automatic change tracking.

Concurrency in iOS: Concurrency in iOS involves simultaneously executing multiple tasks or operations to enhance application performance and responsiveness. It includes concepts such as multithreading, Grand Central Dispatch (GCD), operation queues, and synchronization techniques to manage concurrent execution and avoid race conditions.

Swift Programming: Swift Programming encompasses the overall knowledge and proficiency in the Swift language, covering the syntax, language features, best practices, and development techniques. It includes understanding concepts like optionals, closures, generics, protocols, and advanced language features that enable developers to write efficient and maintainable Swift code.
