Is it possible to store elements of different data types in the same array at the same time?

In Swift (iOS), arrays are type-safe, meaning all elements in an array must be of the same type. However, you can create an array that holds elements of different types by using a type wrapper, such as Any.
Example:
let mixedArray: [Any] = [42, "Hello", 3.14, true]
This array contains an integer, a string, a floating-point number, and a boolean value. But when working with elements of such an array, you need to cast them to the appropriate type, which requires additional checks and can lead to errors.
Therefore, you cannot directly store different types in a single array, but you can use an array with elements of type Any.
