国外开发者最近发现,WWDC2014上苹果发布的新语言Swift,和古老的Scala语言在语法上存在众多的相似之处。
本文以苹果官方教程The Swift Programming Language中的示例,比较Swift与Scala两种语言实现同一功能的代码。
Swift语言从语法上来看,几乎是Scala的一个分支,在以下功能上几乎是等同的:类型继承、闭包、元组(Tuple)、协议、扩展、泛型等。
不过Swift的运行环境和Scala的区别还是很大,这个概念才是Swift最重要的。Scala语言编译成JVM程序,使用垃圾收集机制,与Java无缝整合。但Swift最终编译到机器代码,使用引用计数机制,与Objective-C无缝整合。所以Swift和Scala在代码表象上的相似,应该并不太影响两种语言本质机理上的重大不一致。
语言基础
你好,世界。
// Swift println("Hello,world!") // Scala */ println()
变量与常量
// Swift var myVariable = 42 myVariable = 50 let myConstant = 42 // Scala var myVariable = 50 val myConstant = 42
显式类型
// Swift let explicitDouble: Double = 70 // Scala val explicitDouble: Double = 70
强制类型转换
// Swift let label = "The width is " let width = 94 let widthLabel = label + String(width) //Scala val label = "The width is " val width = 94 val widthLabel = label + width
字符串数据填充
// Swift let apples = 3 let oranges = 5 let fruitSummary = "I have \(apples + oranges) " + "pieces of fruit." // Scala val apples = 3 val oranges = 5 val fruitSummary = s"I have ${apples + oranges} " + " pieces of fruit."
整数半开区间运算符
// Swift let names = ["Anna","Alex",68)">"Brian",68)">"Jack"] let count = names.count for i in 0..count { println("Person \(i + 1) is called \(names[i])") } // Person 1 is called Anna // Person 2 is called Alex // Person 3 is called Brian // Person 4 is called Jack // Scala val names = Array("Jack") val count = names.length for (i <- 0 until count) { println(s"Person ${i + 1} is called ${names(i)}") } // Person 4 is called Jack
整数闭区间运算符
// Swift for index in 1...5 { println("\(index) times 5 is \(index * 5)") } // 1 times 5 is 5 // 2 times 5 is 10 // 3 times 5 is 15 // 4 times 5 is 20 // 5 times 5 is 25 // Scala for (index <- 1 to 5) { println(s"$index times 5 is ${index * 5}") } // 5 times 5 is 25
集合
数组
// Swift var shoppingList = ["catfish",68)">"water", "tulips",68)">"blue paint"] shoppingList[1] = "bottle of water" // Scala var shoppingList = Array("blue paint") shoppingList(1) = "bottle of water"
字典
// Swift var occupations = [ "Malcolm": "Captain",68)">"Kaylee": "Mechanic",] occupations["Jayne"] = "Public Relations" // Scala var occupations = scala.collection.mutable.Map( "Malcolm" -> "Kaylee" -> "Mechanic" ) occupations("Jayne") = "Public Relations"
空集
// Swift let emptyArray = String[]() let emptyDictionary = Dictionary<String,Float>() let emptyArrayNoType = [] // Scala val emptyArray = Array[String]() val emptyDictionary = Map[String,Float]() val emptyArrayNoType = Array()
函数
函数定义
// Swift func greet(name: String,day: String) -> String { return "Hello \(name),today is \(day)." } greet("Bob",68)">"Tuesday") // Scala def greet(name: String,day: String): String = { return s"Hello $name,today is $day." } greet("Tuesday")
元组(Tuple)返回值
// Swift func getGasPrices() -> (Double,Double,Double) { return (3.59,3.69,153)">3.79) } // Scala def getGasPrices(): (Double,Double) = { return (3.79) }
可变数量参数
// Swift func sumOf(numbers: Int...) -> Int { var sum = 0 for number in numbers { sum += number } return sum } sumOf(42,153)">597,153)">12) // Scala def sumOf(numbers: Int*): Int = { var sum = 0 for (number <- numbers) { sum += number } return sum } sumOf(12)
函数作为数据类型
// Swift func makeIncrementer() -> (Int -> Int) { func addOne(number: Int) -> Int { return 1 + number } return addOne } var increment = makeIncrementer() increment(7) // Scala def makeIncrementer(): Int => Int = { def addOne(number: Int): Int = { return 7)
集合迭代器(Map)
// Swift var numbers = [20,153)">19,153)">7,153)">12] numbers.map({ number in 3 * number }) // Scala var numbers = Array(12) numbers.map( number => 3 * number )
排序
// Swift sort([1,153)">5,153)">3,153)">12,153)">2]) { $0 > $1 } // Scala Array(2).sortWith(_ > _)
命名参数
// Swift def area(width: Int,height: Int) -> Int { return width * height } area(width: 10,height: 10) // Scala def area(width: Int,height: Int): Int = { return width * height } area(width = 10)
类
定义
// Swift class @H_289_502@Shape { var numberOfSides = 0 func simpleDescription() -> String { return "A shape with \(numberOfSides) sides." } } // Scala 0 def simpleDescription(): String = { return s"A shape with $numberOfSides sides." } }
使用
// Swift var shape = Shape() shape.numberOfSides = 7 var shapeDescription = shape.simpleDescription() // Scala var shape = new Shape() shape.numberOfSides = 7 var shapeDescription = shape.simpleDescription()
子类
// Swift class NamedShape { var numberOfSides: Int = 0 var name: String init(name: String) { self.name = name } func simpleDescription() -> String { return "A shape with \(numberOfSides) sides." } } class Square: NamedShape { var sideLength: Double init(sideLength: Double,name: String) { self.sideLength = sideLength super.init(name: name) numberOfSides = 4 } func area() -> Double { return sideLength * sideLength } override func simpleDescription() -> String { return "A square with sides of length \(sideLength)." } } let test = Square(sideLength: 5.2) test.area() test.simpleDescription() // Scala class NamedShape(var name: String) { var numberOfSides: Int = 0 def simpleDescription() = s"A shape with $numberOfSides sides." } class Square(var sideLength: Double,name: String) extends NamedShape(name) { numberOfSides = 4 def area() = sideLength * sideLength override def simpleDescription() = s"A square with sides of length $sideLength." } val test = new Square(5.2,"my test square") test.area() test.simpleDescription()
检查实例所属的类
// Swift var movieCount = 0 var songCount = 0 for item in library { if item is Movie { ++movieCount } else if item is Song { ++songCount } } // Scala var movieCount = 0 for (item <- library) { if (item.isInstanceOf[Movie]) { movieCount += 1 } else if (item.isInstanceOf[Song]) { songCount += 1 } }
基类转派生类(向下转换)
// Swift for object in someObjects { let movie = object as Movie println("Movie: '\(movie.name)',dir. \(movie.director)") } // Scala for (obj <- someObjects) { val movie = obj.asInstanceOf[Movie] println(s"Movie: '${movie.name}',dir. ${movie.director}") }
协议
// Swift protocol Nameable { func name() -> String } func f<@H_289_502@T: Nameable>(x: T) { println("Name is " + x.name()) } // Scala trait Nameable { def name(): String } def f[T <@H_289_502@: Nameable](x: T) = { println("Name is " + x.name()) }
扩展
// Swift extension Double { var km: Double { return self * 1_000.0 } var m: Double { return self } var cm: Double { return self / 100.0 } var mm: Double { return self / .0 } var ft: Double { return self / 3.28084 } } let oneInch = 25.4.mm println("One inch is \(oneInch) meters") // prints "One inch is 0.0254 meters" let threeFeet = 3.ft println("Three feet is \(threeFeet) meters") // prints "Three feet is 0.914399970739201 meters" // Scala object Extensions { implicit class DoubleUnit(d: Double) { def km: Double = { return d * 1000.0 } def m: Double = { return d } def cm: Double = { return d / 100.0 } def mm: Double = { return d / 1000.0 } def ft: Double = { return d / 3.28084 } } } import Extensions.DoubleUnit val oneInch = 25.4.mm println(s"One inch is $oneInch meters") // prints "One inch is 0.0254 meters" val threeFeet = 3.ft println(s"Three feet is $threeFeet meters") // prints "Three feet is 0.914399970739201 meters"
