import UIKit
import Darwin

// Variable names must start with a letter and can contain most any unicode
// character except whitespace, mathematical symbols, arrows

// Swift uses type inference to guess the data type if it isn't provided
// It assumes this is a string and won't except any other value type
var str = "Hello, playground"

// Define a constant
let pi = 3.141592

// Prints a string along with the variable value using string interpolation
println("pi is equal to \(pi)")

// You can define the data type with a type annotation
let numberOfSteps: Int = 450

// ---------- DATA TYPES ----------

// Int : Integers
// Double / Float : Decimal Numbers
// String : Characters
// Bool : true or false

// The maximum Int on a 64 bit computer
let maxInt: Int = 9223372036854775807

let maxUnsignedInt: UInt64 = UInt64.max

// The maximum Float
println("Max Float : \(FLT_MAX)")

// The maximum Double
println("Max Float : \(DBL_MAX)")

// Floats are accurate to 6 digits
let floatPrecision: Float = 1.999999 + 0.0000005
println("Float Precision: ", floatPrecision)

//Doubles are precise to 15 digits
let doublePrecision: Double = 1.99999999999999 + 0.000000000000005
println("Double Precision: ", doublePrecision)

// Booleans are either true or false
let isOver18 = true

// Create a String
let myName = "Derek"

// Combine or concatenate strings
let statement = "My name is " + myName

// Strings are immutable when you use let
// myName = "Paul"
var paulName = "Paul"
paulName = "Fred"


// ---------- CASTING ----------

// Cast a Float into an Int
println("I'm an Int now \(Int(floatPrecision))")

// Cast an Int into a Float
println("I'm a Float now \(Float(maxInt))")

// Cast an Int into a Bool
println("I'm a Bool now \(Bool(maxInt))")

// Turn a String into an Int
let myAge = "40"
let myAgeInt = myAge.toInt()

// Turn a String into a Float
let myHeight = "6.25"
let myHeightFloat = (myHeight as NSString).floatValue

// ---------- MATH ----------
println("5 + 3 =  \(5 + 3)")
println("5 - 3 =  \(5 - 3)")
println("5 * 3 =  \(5 * 3)")
println("5 / 3 =  \(5 / 3)")
println("5.3 % 3 =  \(5.3 % 3)") // Remainder Operator

// Shorthand Increment and Decrement
var num: Int = 1

println("num++ = \(num++)")
println("++num = \(++num)")

// Compound Assignment
num += 5
println("num += 5  \(num)")

num -= 5
println("num -= 5  \(num)")

num *= 5
println("num *= 5  \(num)")

num /= 5
println("num /= 5  \(num)")

num %= 5
println("num %= 5  \(num)")

// Generate random number between 0 and 10
println("Random Number : \(arc4random() % 11)")

// ---------- CONDITIONALS ----------
let age: Int = 13

// Conditional Operators > < >= <= == !=
// Logical Operators && || !

if age < 16 {
    println("You can go to school")
} else if (age >= 16) && (age < 18){
    println("You can drive")
} else {
    println("You can vote")
}

if (age < 14) || (age > 67) {
    println("You shouldn't work")
}

println("!true = \(!true)")

// Ternary Operator
var isLegalToVote: Bool = (age > 18) ? true : false

// Switch Statement
// Works with Ints, Doubles, Floats, Booleans, Strings and more
// By default after a match is made execution doesn't fall to the next
// case

let ingredient = "pinto beans"

switch ingredient {
case "pasta", "tomato":
    println("How about spaghetti")
    // fallthrough : Would check the next case if you want
case "potato":
    println("How about a baked potato")
case "pinto beans":
    println("How about a burrito")
default:
    println("A glass of water is nice")
}

// You can use a Range in switch
let testScore: Int = 89

switch testScore {
case 93...100:
    println("You got an A")
case 85...92:
    println("You got a B")
case 77...84:
    println("You got a C")
case 69...76:
    println("You got a D")
default:
    println("You got an F")
}

// ---------- ARRAYS ----------

// Every item in an array must be of the same type and
// can be Ints, Floats, Doubles, Strings, Bools, Structs

let friends: Array<String> = ["Bob", "Fred", "Paul"]

let randNums = [3, 6, 9]

// Values are referenced using indexes starting at 0
println("Random Num 1 : \(randNums[0])")

// Create empty array
var groceries = [String]()

// Add items to array
groceries.append("Tomato")
groceries.append("Potato")
groceries.append("Beans")

// How many items in array
println("Number of groceries : \(groceries.count)")

// Insert an item at an index
groceries.insert("Flour", atIndex: 1)
println(groceries)

// Replace an item
groceries[1] = "Whole Wheat Flour"
println(groceries)

// Remove an item at index
groceries.removeAtIndex(0)
println(groceries)

// Remove item by value
if let match = find(groceries,"Beans") {
    groceries.removeAtIndex(match)
}
println(groceries)

// Sort from lowest to highest
groceries = sorted(groceries, <)
println(groceries)

// Reverse array
groceries.reverse()

// Multidimensional Array
var array: [[Int]] = [[00,10,20],[01,11,21]]

for column in array {
    for row in column {
        println("\(row) : \(column)")
    }
}

println(array[1][0])


// ---------- DICTIONARIES ----------
// Use key value pairs for storing
// The key can be an Int, Double, String, Enum

// Create a dictionary
var superHeroes = [String : String]()

// Add value associated with key in brackets
superHeroes["Superman"] = "Clark Kent"

// Number of items
println("Number of Heroes : \(superHeroes.count)")

// Remove using the key
superHeroes.removeValueForKey("Superman")

// ---------- TUPLES ----------
// Tuples are normally used when you want to return 
// many values from a function

var stats = (height:6.25, weight:179, name:"Derek")
println("Height : \(stats.height)")
println("Weight : \(stats.weight)")
println("Name : \(stats.name)")

// ---------- LOOPING ----------

for var i: Int = 1; i <= 10; i++ {
    
    // If is odd skip the rest of the code in the loop
    if Bool(i % 2){
        continue
    }
    
    // If i == 10 jump out of the loop completely
    if i == 10 {
        break
    }
    
    println("\(i)")
}

// For In Loop with Range
for j in -5...5 {
    println("\(j)")
}

var quote = "I dream of a better tomorrow, where chickens can cross the road and not be questioned about their motives."

// You can cycle through strings
var numOfAs = 0
for singleChar in quote {
    if singleChar == "a"{
        numOfAs++
    }
}
println("Number of a's \(numOfAs)")

// Cycle through array with for in

let people: Array<String> = ["Bob", "Fred", "Paul"]

for person in people {
    println(person)
}

// Cycle through a Dictionary

let heroes = ["Superman" : "Clark Kent",
    "Flash" : "Barry Allen", "Batman" : "Bruce Wayne"]

for (pubName, sIdent) in heroes {
    println("\(pubName) is \(sIdent)")
}

// While Loop

var k = 0

while k <= 10 {
    println(k)
    k++
}

// Do While Loop

var l = 0

do {
    println(l)
    l++
} while l <= 10

// ---------- FUNCTIONS ----------

// Function receives no attributes and returns nothing
func sayHello(){
    println("Hello")
}

sayHello()

// Function receives an attribute
func sayHello2(name: String){
    println("Hello \(name)")
}

sayHello2("Derek")

// Receives 2 attributes and returns an Int
// Attributes are given default values
func getSum(num1: Int = 1, num2: Int = 1) -> Int {
    return num1 + num2
}

println("5 + 6 = \(getSum(num1: 5, num2: 6))")

// Variadic parameters have an unknown number of attributes
func getSum2(nums: Int...) -> Int {
    
    var sum: Int = 0
    
    for num in nums{
        sum += num
    }
    return sum
}

println("Sum : \(getSum2(1,2,3,4,5))")

// How to effect variable values outside of the function
var str1: String = "happy"
var str2: String = "sad"

func makeUppercase(inout str1: String, inout str2: String){
    str1 = str1.uppercaseString
    str2 = str2.uppercaseString
}

makeUppercase(&str1, &str2)

println(str1 + " " + str2)

// Return multiple types from function
func getMult(number: Int) -> (x2: Int, x3: Int){
    var x2 = number * 2
    var x3 = number * 3
    
    return (x2, x3)
}

var answer = getMult(50)

println(answer.x2)
println(answer.x3)

// Returning functions
// Receive an unknown number of Ints and return a Double
func average(nums: Int...) -> Double{
    var sum = 0
    
    for num in nums {
        sum += num
    }
    
    return Double(sum) / Double(nums.count)
}

func sum(nums: Int...) -> Double{
    var sum = 0
    
    for num in nums {
        sum += num
    }
    
    return Double(sum)
}

func doMath (mathOption: String) -> (Int...) -> Double{
    if mathOption == "average"{
        return average
    } else {

}

var mathFunc = doMath("average")
println(mathFunc(1,2,3,4,5,6))

// Return an inner function that receives 2 Ints and
// returns a String
func multiplyIt () -> ((Int, Int) -> String) {

    }
    return multiply
}

// Get a reference to a function that you can use to
// execute an inner function
let getValue = multiplyIt()
println(getValue(5, 3))

// ---------- CLOSURES ----------

// A Closure is self contained code like a function
// They differ in that they can be anonymous and have
// no name

// in seperates the header from the body

//{ (param: paramType, param2: paramType) -> returnType in
//    statements
//    return value
//}

// A closure that excepts and returns an Int
var square: (Int) -> (Int) = { num in
    return num * num
}

// Assign a closure to another variable
var squareCopy = square

// No attributes or returns
var sayGoodbye: () -> () = {
    println("Goodbye")
}

sayGoodbye()

// No attributes with return

var sayHappy: () -> (String) = {
    "Happy Birthday"
}

println(sayHappy())

// Reference variables outside the closure

var num3 = 3

var incrementNum = {
    println("num3 : \(++num3)")
}

incrementNum()

// An Array has a map method that excepts a closure that
// performs an action on every item in the array
let numsToSquare = [1,2,3,4,5,6]

let squaredNums = numsToSquare.map {
    (num: Int) -> String in
    "\(num * num)"
}

println(squaredNums)


// ---------- STRUCTS ----------
// You can create custom data types using Structs
// Structs are used when you don't want to inherit and
// you are modeling a simple data structure

struct Runner {
    var name: String
    var milePace: Double
    
    func displayMP() -> String {
        let absPace = Int(self.milePace)
        let prctMin = self.milePace - Double(absPace)
        let seconds = prctMin * 60
        
        return "\(absPace) min : \(seconds) sec"
    }
    
    // A computed property returns versus stores a value
    var marathonTime: Double {

            return (milePace * 26.2) / 60;
        }

// ---------- CLASSES ----------

class Animal {
    var name: String = "No Name"
    var height: Double = 0.0
    var weight: Double = 0.0
    var sound: String = "No Sound"
    
    // Assigns default values when an object is created
    // You can have many inits with different attributes

    func getInfo(){
        println("\(self.name) is \(self.height) cms tall and weighs \(self.weight) kgs and likes to say \(self.sound)")

    // You can create overloaded methods if you change
    // the attributes
    func getSum(num1: Int, num2: Int) -> Int{

}

var rover = Animal(name: "Rover", height: 38, weight: 12.7, sound: "Ruff")

rover.getInfo()


// Inheritance
class Dog: Animal{
    
    // Dog can extend or override methods in Animal
    // A func marked as final can't be overridden by
    // subclasses
    
    final func digHole(){
        println("\(self.name) digs a hole")
    }

println("2.2 + 5.6 = \(spot.getSum(2.2,num2: 5.6))")

// Check the class type
println("Is Spot a Dog : \(spot is Animal)")

// ---------- PROTOCOLS ----------

// Protocols are like interfaces in other languages
// When you adopt a protocol you agree to define the 
// behavior it describes

protocol Flyable {
    // Define if getters and setters are available
    // Put optional before var if you want it to be 
    // optional
    var flies: Bool { get set }
    
    // You define the header for a func but nothing else
    func fly(distMiles: Double) -> String

        } else {
            return "\(self.name) can't fly"
        }
    }
}

var fordF150 = Vehicle()
fordF150.name = "Ford F-150"
fordF150.flies = false
println(fordF150.fly(10))

// ---------- EXTENSIONS ----------
// Extensions provide a way to add functionality without
// overidding existing functionality to a type being one
// you create or even Int, Double, String, Array

// Output a String as an array
extension String {
    // Array of characters
    var asArray: [Character]{
    
        // Create an empty array of characters
        var result = [Character]()
        
        // Cycle through the string and store each
        // character in the array
        for char in self {
            result.append(char)
        }
        return result
    }
    
    // We can add functions as well
    func letterOccurence(theChar: Character) -> Int{
        var numOfChars = 0
        for letter in self {
            if letter == theChar{

    }
    
}

var characters = "A Random string".asArray
println(characters)

var numberOfAs: Int = "a Random string".letterOccurence("a")
println("Number of As \(numberOfAs)")

// ---------- GENERICS ----------
// Generics allow you to avoid repetitive code that exists
// because of type requirements

// If we wanted to print anything other then strings
// we'd have to create many of these
func printElements(randStr: String){
    for element in randStr{
        print("\(element), ")
    }

// Comparable allows you to compare any data type
func compareThem<T: Comparable>(val1: T, val2: T) -> Bool {
    return val1 < val2
}

println(compareThem("a","b"))

// ---------- ENUMS ----------
// Enums structure related values and are very useful when
// you are working with a limited number of options

// Swift enums are not integer based like other languages
// They can store multiple data types

// If you want to map an enum to a value you must define 
// the data type and a value unless it is Int
enum Color: Int {
    case blue // You could also: case blue = 1
    case green
    case red
    case purple

// ---------- ENUMS ----------

// Enums structure related values and are very useful when

// you are working with a limited number of options

// Swift enums are not integer based like other languages

// They can store multiple data types

// If you want to map an enum to a value you must define

// the data type and a value unless it is Int

enum Color: Int {

case blue // You could also: case blue = 1

case green

case red

case purple

case yellow

// Set default value to blue

init () {

self = .blue

}

// Create a function that returns the color

func getData() -> String {

switch(self){

case .blue: return "Blue"

case .green: return "Green"

case .red: return "Red"

case .purple: return "Purple"

case .yellow: return "Yellow"

default: return "Not Found"

}
