What is the difference between convenience init vs init in swift, explicit examples better

Question

I am having troubles to understand the difference between both, or the purpose of the convenience init.

Answer 1

It makes sense if your use case is to call an initializer in another initializer in the same class.

Try to do this in playground

class Player {
    let name: String
    let level: Int

    init(name: String, level: Int) {
        self.name = name
        self.level = level
    }
    
    init(name: String) {
        self.init(name: name, level: 0) //<- Call the initializer above?

        //Sorry you can't do that. How about adding a convenience keyword?
    }
}

Player(name:"LoseALot")

With convenience keyword

class Player {
    let name: String
    let level: Int

    init(name: String, level: Int) {
        self.name = name
        self.level = level
    }
    
    //Add the convenience keyword
    convenience init(name: String) {
        self.init(name: name, level: 0) //Yes! I am now allowed to call my fellow initializer!
    }
}
