How is the interface layout system implemented in SwiftUI and what are its main principles?

In SwiftUI, the layout system is built on a declarative approach and uses composition of views.

Main principles:

• Declarative: the developer describes how the interface should look in its current state, and SwiftUI manages updates itself.
• Composition: the interface is constructed from simple components (Views) that can be nested within each other.
• Layout system: SwiftUI uses a flexible layout system based on containers (e.g., VStack, HStack, ZStack), which automatically arrange child elements.
• Modifiers: chains of modifiers are used to customize the appearance and behavior of Views.

Example:

VStack {
    Text("Hello, SwiftUI!")
        .font(.title)
        .padding()
    Button("Press me") {
        print("Button pressed")
    }
}

Here, VStack arranges elements vertically, and modifiers set style and padding.
