Is it considered proper to define variable types?

...or can I leave it up to the inferred thingy.

Swift language BTW.

Example:

var example : String = "Example"

or

var example = "Example"

Which ever way you like.

IS there a standard, say if someone else is to review my work? What might someone reading the code prefer to see?

Richard MacCutchan 8-Jul-15 9:24am

You need to ask them. Different people use different standards, so you need to use the same one that your reviewers use.

The standard is the one you define. All standards are, are personal preferences that other people agree to. If you like one way, use that until you work someplace that has actual written coding standards.

Thanks to the both of you.

Read the question carefully.
Understand that English isn't everyone's first language so be lenient of bad spelling and grammar.
If a question is poorly phrased then either ask for clarification, ignore it, or edit the question and fix the problem. Insults are not welcome.
Don't tell someone to read the manual. Chances are they have and don't get it. Provide an answer or move on to the next question.
