Swift 4.0 is now officially released! As a result, The Swift Algorithms project has been updated to reflect this new standard.

Change Summary

The relative stability of Swift 4.0 has allowed an opportunity refine many areas of the code base. Notable updates include:

  • New examples of code Memoization and Dynamic Programming
  • New non-recursive Binary Search Tree Algorithm (BST)
  • New contains() method for BST's.
  • New generic min/max Heap Algorithm
  • New unit test cases for evaluating Fibonacci and Heap Algorithms
  • subscript syntax applied to Trie and Linked List algorithms
  • Support for new Swift-based Array.swapAt function
  • Limited use of Implicit Unwrapped Optionals (IUO's)

Existing Swift 3.0 followers should study the new Swift 4.0 BST Algorithm. To simulate a call stack often employed in recursive processes, this model uses a custom Stack data structure in conjunction with inout variables.
