Swift Functions as Types

This article explores the concept of functions as types in Swift, a key idea for functional programming. It distinguishes between named types (classes, structs, enums, protocols) and compound types (functions and tuples), focusing on how a function's type is defined by its parameter types and return type. Using examples like a Star Wars name generator, it illustrates how to read and understand function signatures. The article is a technical guide for Swift developers interested in type theory and functional programming paradigms.
