# Swift-vs-Ruby

## Comments

Both languages support one-line and multi-line comments

```

# Ruby 

=begin

  multi-line 

  code comment

=end

// Swift 

/*

  multi-line

  code comment

*/

```

## Constant and Variable declaration

Ruby doesn't have constant. Swift does.

```

# Ruby

legal_age = 18

// Swift 

let legalAge = 18 //This is a constant

var currentAge = 27 //This is variable

```

## String Interpolation

```

# Ruby

name = "Oguzhan"

puts "Hello, #{name}."

// Swift

let name = "Oguzhan"

print("Hello, \(name)")

```

## Type Inference

Ruby is a dynamic type language. A variable can store anything: integers, strings, floats, objects.

Swift is a type safe language. Compiler yells at your code, if you try to reassing an integer to string variable. However, Swift has a type inference. 

```

# Ruby 

name = "Oguzhan"

name = 89.00

// Swift 

var name = "Oguzhan"

name = 89.00 // Compiler Error!

```
