Answer from AI
In order for a value to be added to a Set in iOS (Swift), it must conform to the Hashable protocol.
This means that:
- The value must have a hash value (hashValue), which is used for quick lookup in the set.
- An equality comparison function (Equatable) must be implemented to determine if two elements are the same.
Example:
struct Person: Hashable {
var id: Int
var name: String
}
var peopleSet = Set<Person>()
peopleSet.insert(Person(id: 1, name: "Ivan"))
If the type does not conform to Hashable, it cannot be added to a Set, as the set requires unique elements and quick existence checks.
