Overriding a stored property in Swift

Question

I noticed that the compiler won\'t let me override a stored property with another stored value (which seems odd):

class Jedi {
    var lightSaberColor = \"Bl         


        

Answer 1

If you attempt to do that in Swift 5 you will be greeted by a

Cannot override immutable 'let' property 'lightSaberColor' with the getter of a 'var'

Your best bet is to declare it as a computed property.

This works as we are just overriding the get {} function

class Base {
   var lightSaberColor: String { "base" }
}

class Red: Base {
   override var lightSaberColor: String { "red" }
}
