Calling this property directly is discouraged. Instead, convert an
instance of any type to a string by using theString(describing:)initializer. This initializer works with any type, and uses the customdescriptionproperty for types that conform toCustomStringConvertible:
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 ofpto a string in the assignment tosuses thePointtype’sdescriptionproperty.
Hashes the essential components of this value by feeding them into the
given hasher.
Implement this method to conform to theHashableprotocol. The
components used for hashing must be the same as the components compared
in your type’s==operator implementation. Callhasher.combine(_:)with each of these components.
Important
In your implementation ofhash(into:),
don’t callfinalize()on thehasherinstance 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
hashValueis deprecated as aHashablerequirement. To
conform toHashable, implement thehash(into:)requirement instead.
The compiler provides an implementation forhashValuefor you.
