Information Hiding the “Swifter” way?

Question

I have a question regarding object oriented design principles and Swift. I am pretty familiar with Java and I am currently taking a udacity course to get a first hands on in Swi

Answer 1

I do it a bit like in Obj-C:

class MyClass
  private var _something:Int
  var something:Int {
    get {return _something}
// optional: set { _something = newValue }
  }
  init() { _something = 99 }
}

...
let c = MyClass()
let v = c.something

Above is a primitive example, but handled stringent it works as a good pattern.
