Defer block is not executed

Question

I have the following swift code executing in playground:

func A() {
    print ("Hello")
    guard 1 == 2 else {
        return
    }
    defer {
            


        

Answer 1

Put the defer block before the scope is exited:

func A() {
    print ("Hello")
    defer {
        print ("World")
    }
    guard 1 == 2 else {
        return
    }
}

A()
