Follow Swift's naming conventions to write more readable, maintainable code. The Swift language emphasizes clarity and expressiveness in naming: 1. **Avoid `get` prefixes** in function and method names. In Swift, properties and zero-argument methods serve this purpose without the prefix. ```swift // Avoid: func getTimeString(_ nanoseconds: Double) -> String { ... } // Prefer: func timeDescription(_ nanoseconds: Double) -> String { ... } ``` 2. **Name functions according to their purpose**, not their return type. The return type is already declared in the function signature. ```swift // Avoid: func colorString() -> String { ... } // Prefer: func description() -> String { ... } ``` 3. **Use Swift's shorthand type notation** for collections rather than the generic form. ```swift // Avoid: var timings: Array = [0.0] // Prefer: var timings: [Double] = [0.0] ``` 4. **Leverage abbreviated dot syntax** when the type context is already known. ```swift var rank: Rank = .queen // Instead of Rank.queen ``` These conventions align with the [Swift API Design Guidelines](https://swift.org/documentation/api-design-guidelines/) and help create a consistent codebase that other Swift developers can easily understand.
