Basic Control Flow

SwiftChapter 5 of the Ultimate Swift Series30 minApril 10, 2026Beginner

Control flow is how you tell your program to make decisions and repeat actions. In this chapter, you'll learn about Booleans, comparison operators, conditional statements, and loops -- the tools that let your code respond to different situations.

Booleans

A Bool in Swift has exactly two possible values: true or false. Booleans are the foundation of all decision-making in code:

let isLoggedIn = true
let hasPermission = false

You can combine Booleans with logical operators: && (AND), || (OR), and ! (NOT).

Full content for this chapter will be added in a future update. The complete article covers comparison operators, if/else statements, the ternary operator, while loops, repeat-while loops, and variable scope.
