Sedona - Compile Swift Program 4+

Semi Functional

It is useful for learning the basics like assigning values to arrays, indexing, etc. building basic functions. It didn’t however have a random number generator. I tried to shuffle an array using arc4random_uniform() but it wouldn’t let me. I’m still a beginner so it could be user error too.

Developer Response ,

Hello, thank you for your review! The compiler runs on a Linux server where Swift does not support arc4random_uniform(). A workaround is found here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/41035180/swift-arc4random-uniformmax-in-linux

Inbox needs fixing

I have used your app and it is great.... except when I try to open an imported project it says to move it out of inbox. However, there seems to be no way to do this. Please fix this.

A decent simulator with a lot of potential

I have been looking for a compiler type simulator app for Swift to play around in learning beginner concepts and syntax. I agree that it was difficult to edit at first but I click edit then cancel and it resets the text editing. I see good potential for the first compiler simulator for Swift in iPhone AppStore. Looking forward to updates. I'll contribute by paying for ad removal

UPDATE:
Just wanted to add that I've been happy with this app more and more. There's a decent reference for syntax but with practice now I don't need it for switches, declaring dictionaries, arrays, variables, and more since things like syntax in Swift seem to follow a nice predictable pattern. I have read the Swift manual from iBooks to get the full grasp of this but actually typing without reference was more difficult. This helped me type it out and test usability without having a MacBook. Also the error messages are helpful when learning optionals. Sometimes I was force unwrapping the wrong parts of the statements. Thank you!
