Objectives

  • Apply the dictionary initialization method to count occurrences and track data patterns in arrays and strings.
  • Use for loops with continue statements to control flow and skip unnecessary iterations in coding challenges.
  • Recognize when to apply dictionary-based solutions to problems involving frequency, grouping, and validation.
  • Solve real-world Swift challenges by combining loop logic with conditionals and dictionary state tracking.
  • Break complex problems into repeatable logic patterns using structured iteration and conditional branching.
  • Create frequency maps, reverse lookup dictionaries, and grouped collections using foundational Swift syntax.
  • Debug and test dictionary-driven logic with predictable control flow using repeatable code patterns.
  • Differentiate between problems that require counting, filtering, or grouping — and apply the correct structure.
  • Write clean, reusable Swift functions that apply dictionary and loop logic to a wide range of algorithmic tasks.
  • Build confidence in solving interview-style problems through disciplined practice with structured logic patterns.


Pre Requisites

  1. Basic understanding of Swift syntax and data types (e.g., Int, String, Array, Dictionary).
  2. Familiarity with using for-in loops in Swift.
  3. Ability to write simple functions using func in Swift.
  4. Basic comfort with if/else conditional logic.
  5. Experience running and testing Swift code in Xcode, Playgrounds, or an online Swift environment.
  6. Understanding of zero-based indexing and how to access array elements.
  7. Knowledge of Swift optionals and how to unwrap values using if let (helpful but not strictly required).
  8. Comfort reading and modifying small code snippets.
  9. Interest in solving algorithmic or logic-based coding problems.
  10. No prior experience with advanced algorithms or data structures is required — this course focuses on mastering patterns, not complexity.


FAQ

  • Q. How long do I have access to the course materials?
    • A. You can view and review the lecture materials indefinitely, like an on-demand channel.
  • Q. Can I take my courses with me wherever I go?
    • A. Definitely! If you have an internet connection, courses on Udemy are available on any device at any time. If you don't have an internet connection, some instructors also let their students download course lectures. That's up to the instructor though, so make sure you get on their good side!
