🌸 Why Swift Is a Type-Safe Language ✨

Swift allows many kinds of data—strings, integers, decimals, booleans, and more.

Once Swift decides what type a variable holds, that type can never change.

This is called type safety, and it’s one of Swift’s biggest strengths.

🔹 How Swift Assigns Types

Swift infers the type from the value you assign:

var flowerCount = 42

Because 42 is a whole number, Swift treats flowerCount as an Int.

You can change the value:

flowerCount = 50

But you cannot change the type.

🔹 Type Safety in Action

This is not allowed:

// ❌ Error
flowerCount = "Forty two"

Swift won’t let you assign a String to a variable that was created as an Int.

🔹 Why This Matters

As apps grow, keeping track of every variable’s type becomes impossible.

Swift takes that responsibility for you and prevents bugs before your app runs.

Type safety ensures:

• Numbers aren’t treated like text
• Decimals aren’t mixed with integers accidentally
• Data stays predictable and reliable

🌟 Wrap Up

Type safety means a variable has one job—and sticks to it.

Swift enforces this rule so your code stays safe, clear, and bug-free 🌸✨
