is it possible to set a variable value using an if statement?

Question

in kotlin you can do this

val height = if height > 3.0 {
    return "giant"
} else {
    return "regular"
}

that is setting the value of a variable or constant using an if statement

is it possible to do the same thing in swift?

let height = if height > 3.0 {
    return "giant"
} else {
    return "regular"
}

I tried this for swift but i get Expected initial value after '=' error

Answer 1

You can use ternary operator in Swift

return height > 3.0 ? "giant" : "regular"

Also in Kotlin you can do

return if(height > 3.0) "giant" else "regular"
