May I create an instance of a structure using a simple Int?

问题

Is it right to make a structure's instance this way?

public struct Barometer {
   public var pressure: Int
   public init(pressure: Int) {
      self.pressure = pressure
   }
} 

var barometer: Barometer = 80

Or I need to adopt a protocol?

回答1:

You can make that work by adopting the IntegerLiteralConvertible protocol:

extension Barometer: IntegerLiteralConvertible {
    public init(integerLiteral value: Int) {
        self.init(pressure: value)
    }
}

Now a Barometer value can be instantiated from a literal integer:

let barometer: Barometer = 80
print(barometer) // Barometer(pressure: 80)

But note that this works only with literals, not with arbitrary integer values:

let p = 80
let barometer: Barometer = p
// error: cannot convert value of type 'Int' to specified type 'Barometer'

// You have to use:
let barometer = Barometer(pressure: p)

For Swift 3, replace IntegerLiteralConvertible by ExpressibleByIntegerLiteral.
