Initializing property via closure

Question

I\'ve observed that people sometimes using closures to initialize properties. e.g. instead of

lazy var test1: String = String(\"a string\")

These two do the same work. Closure initialization comes handy when you need extra code to configure property object. E.g.:

lazy var point: CGPoint = {
    let x = ...
    let y = ...
    return CGPoint(x: x, y: y)
}()
