Intro to Variables
Audio
A variable is a named container that stores a value you can reference later in your program.
In Python, you create one by writing the name, an equals sign, then the value you want to store.
The value can change over time. Reassigning the name simply points it to a new value.

Add to LinkedInWhy learn iOS development on Coddy
- Every SwiftUI lesson shows your screen in a live preview next to your code.
- No Mac needed to start: Swift and SwiftUI run in your browser.
- The data structures, algorithms and interview problems are all in Swift.
- When you get stuck, Bugsy points at the problem without writing the answer for you.
Questions about becoming an iOS developer
What do I need to learn to become an iOS developer?
Swift first, then SwiftUI for building screens, then the data structures and algorithms most interviews ask about, and Git. This path follows that order.
Do I need a Mac to learn iOS development?
Not to start. Every lesson runs in your browser. To build and publish a real app you need a Mac with Xcode.
Should I start with SwiftUI or UIKit?
Start with SwiftUI. It is Apple's newer way to build screens and the one new projects use most. Many older apps still use UIKit, which this path does not teach yet.
How long does it take to learn iOS development?
About four to six months at an hour a day for the whole path. Swift takes the first two months, SwiftUI about three weeks, and the rest is practice.
Can I build Android apps with Swift?
No. Swift and SwiftUI make apps for Apple devices. To build one app for iPhone and Android, take the Flutter path instead.
Is Coddy part of Apple?
No. Coddy is not affiliated with or endorsed by Apple. iOS, Swift and SwiftUI are trademarks of Apple Inc.
Do I get a certificate for the iOS App Developer path?
Yes. Finish every step and you get one free certificate for the whole iOS App Developer path. It lists each course you finished on the way, and links each course's own certificate, so anyone can check every skill it names. You can add it to your LinkedIn profile. It is a certificate of completion from Coddy, not an accredited qualification.
