How to implement two inits with same content without code duplication in Swift?

Question

Assume a class that is derived from UIView as follows:

class MyView: UIView {
    var myImageView: UIImageView

    init(frame: CGRect) {
               


        

Answer 1

Assign myImageView in both the init() methods based on a single image create function. As such:

self.myImageView = self.createMyImageView ();

For example, like such:

class Bar : Foo {
    var x : Int?
    func createX () -> Int { return 1 }
    init () {
        super.init ()
        self.x = self.createX ()
    }   
}

Note the 'optional' use at Int?
