Initializers in class swift

Question

What is the difference in initializing a variable:

class Person {

   var name = String()

}

instead of:

class Person {

   var name : String

    init(name: String) {

      self.name = name    

    }
}

thanks

Answer 1

• First snippet

  You can call

    let person = Person()
  

• Second snippet:

  You must call

    let person = Person(name:"")
  

to get an instance with an empty name property

PS: "" is easier to write than String()
