Calling this property directly is discouraged. Instead, convert an
instance of any type to a string by using the String(describing:)
initializer. This initializer works with any type, and uses the custom
description property for types that conform to
CustomStringConvertible:
structPoint:CustomStringConvertible{letx:Int,y:Intvardescription:String{return"(\(x), \(y))"}}letp=Point(x:21,y:30)lets=String(describing:p)print(s)// Prints "(21, 30)"
The conversion of p to a string in the assignment to s uses the
Point type’s description property.
Hashes the essential components of this value by feeding them into the
given hasher.
Implement this method to conform to the Hashable protocol. The
components used for hashing must be the same as the components compared
in your type’s == operator implementation. Call hasher.combine(_:)
with each of these components.
Important
In your implementation of hash(into:),
don’t call finalize() on the hasher instance provided,
or replace it with a different instance.
Doing so may become a compile-time error in the future.
Hash values are not guaranteed to be equal across different executions of
your program. Do not save hash values to use during a future execution.
Important
hashValue is deprecated as a Hashable requirement. To
conform to Hashable, implement the hash(into:) requirement instead.
The compiler provides an implementation for hashValue for you.
