Can you explain what is meant by Auto Closure in programming?

Auto Closure is a mechanism in Swift that automatically wraps an expression into a closure. This means that instead of passing a closure explicitly, you can pass an expression that will be evaluated only when the closure is called.

Advantages:

• Deferred evaluation: the expression is not computed immediately, but only when needed.
• Syntactic convenience: code becomes cleaner and simpler.

Example:

func logIfTrue(_ predicate: @autoclosure () -> Bool) {
    if predicate() {
        print("Condition is true")
    }
}

logIfTrue(2 > 1) // The expression 2 > 1 is automatically wrapped into a closure

Here, 2 > 1 is not evaluated immediately when calling, but only inside the function when predicate() is called.
