Swift Programming: getter/setter in stored property

Question

How do I overwrite the setter of stored property in Swift?

In Obj-C, I can overwrite its setter, but Swift doesn\'t seem to be happy about getter/setters being used

Answer 1

Simplified Example:

class Shape {
    var sideLength: Double {
    get {
        return self.sideLength
    }
    set {
        // Implement the setter here.
        self.sideLength = newValue
    }
    }
}

Full example

Check out perimeter in this example.

Excerpt From: Apple Inc. “The Swift Programming Language.” iBooks. https://itun.es/us/jEUH0.l

class EquilateralTriangle: NamedShape {
    var sideLength: Double = 0.0

    init(sideLength: Double, name: String) {
        self.sideLength = sideLength
        super.init(name: name)
        numberOfSides = 3
    }

    var perimeter: Double {
    get {
        return 3.0 * sideLength
    }
    set {
        sideLength = newValue / 3.0
    }
    }

    override func simpleDescription() -> String {
        return "An equilateral triagle with sides of length \(sideLength)."
    }
}
var triangle = EquilateralTriangle(sideLength: 3.1, name: "a triangle")
triangle.perimeter
triangle.perimeter = 9.9
triangle.sideLength”
