From buying a pen to a very expensive good, it\u2019s just away from a fingertip.\u00a0 If you will look on your Smartphone now you will see you can get information, buy a movie ticket for the loved one, online shopping, and many more everything is just one tap away from us.

Well, I am not kidding, yes swift is incredibly fast than objective-c. Yes, I understand you want to know the reason. Well, when an objective c program is compiled then it also compiles all the un-change classes which obviously will take time to compile but in swift, the un-touched classes which get compile before don\u2019t need to compile again which minimize the compilation time. So the next time you want to write an <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">iOS app programming language<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, then try swift to check the compilation time, and you will be amazed.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Swift_Vs_Objective_C_Swift_has_Clean_Code_with_Less_Error\"><\/span><b><\/b>2.
