Reducing the number of brackets in Swift

Question

Does anyone know if there is a way to use some kind shorthand in swift? more specifically, leaving out the braces in things like IF statements... eg

if num == 0
         


        

Answer 1

In swift you have to add braces even if there is just one statement in if:

if num == 0 {
  // Do something
}

You cannot leave the braces, that how swift if statement work.
