Using shorthand syntax for optional binding can improve the readability and
conciseness of your code. The shorthand syntax involves using the if let
or
guard let
statements to bind optional values instead of the longer form of
if
statements with optional binding.
Using the shorthand syntax can make your code more concise and easier to read. It can also help you avoid nested optional binding, which can improve the overall structure of your code.
Here is an example of using the shorthand syntax for optional binding:
if let i = i {}
guard let i = i, var j = j else {}
while var i = i { i = nil }
if let i {}
guard let i = f() else {}
while var i { i = nil }
