Origin of Swift Swift, which is apple's new multi-paradigm programming language for iOS and OS X app development, builds on the some of the top programming languages as of now like objective-C, ruby, python, C#, and many more.

It is also easy to learn because Apple produces extensive documentation of the language. Also, Swift allows Objective-C developers to mix the two programming languages in making an application. Since, the environment of Swift has been easier to learn and to use; more developers will be attracted to be an apple developer thus making more and cheaper application in the Apple Store. Swift programming language is multi-paradigm, which means it supports more than one programming paradigm. Swift’s programming paradigms are as follows: • Object Oriented Paradigm Swift uses objects or classes in order to break down the problem. These objects or classes will work together in order to solve the problem. Since objects or classes are interrelated to each other they are most likely general-purpose and flexible enabling them to inherit another class’ properties. • Functional Paradigm Swift uses functions that return immutable values, which means the values cannot be changed. Functions are parts of the whole program that executes certain tasks. • Imperative Paradigm Swift can also be programmed in order to follow steps in order to solve the …show more content…

It means the data type can have a value or it contains nothing. var first= Int var second= Int? Types Swift uses the var and let keywords in declaring a constant and a variable. let is used for declaring constant and var on the other hand is used for declaring variable. The difference between the variable and constant is that a constant cannot change its value after you declare it while the variable can change its value. let familyName = "Pambid" familyName=" Ulat" var familyName = "Pambid" familyName = "Ulat"

  • Ethos Logos In A Modest Proposal

    826 Words  | 4 Pages

    When it came to Ethos, Swift was not quite as persuasive as he could have been. He does have a background when it comes to writing about corrupt governments in tales such as “Gulliver’s Travels.” The way Swift wrote this essay, however, makes it feel slightly less objective. Even when he is writing from the point of a wealthier Irishman, his overall tone shows a large amount of contempt towards the higher economic classes. Instead of allowing the readers to read alternative arguments on this subject, he focused strictly on his own opinion.

    Imagine living in 1700 Ireland with no modern technology, no running water, no electricity, nothing.

Unfortunately, this horrible event occurred back in 1729, and to bring awareness to the difficulties that Ireland was facing, author Jonathan Swift wrote a satirical essay called A Modest Proposal. To prove his theory, Jonathan Swift creatively incorporated modes of persuasion into his writing to convince that the Irish were being treated poorly by the English.

    In fact, he refers to “A very worthy Person, a true Lover of his Country, and whose Virtues I highly esteem, was lately pleased, in discoursing on this matter, to offer a refinement upon my Scheme”(17). As a result, Swift shows that even the most patriotic person to both Ireland and Britain (since Ireland was under British control at the time) realizes that within this current situation of poverty, this proposal is a solution and can be acted out in many different

    Swift does a good job using ethos, pathos, and logos to describe the Ireland’s economy and how he thinks it can be improved.

He uses ethos in the best way and also does a good job using logos. Swift has ideas that are not that ethical but does an interesting way to get his ideas

    Ever thought about consuming a one-year-old baby with nice plump features? Most people will not consider such an immoral act; however, desperate times may force people to make difficult choices. This is the case in Dublin, Ireland in the late 1720’s. The attainment of human rights in the fullest sense cannot be achieved so long as hundreds of millions of poverty-stricken people lack the necessities of life. As a call to reform, Jonathan Swift wrote “A Modest Proposal.”

  • Satire In Jonathan Swifts A Modest Proposal

    805 Words  | 4 Pages

    At the time when Swift’s proposal was made, Britain’s dictatorial reign in Ireland had left the nation in poverty and disarray. Criticising a nation was much easier to do in a joking tone or be harder to read rather than direct and upfront. Swift wanted to discuss these issues and found by writing in satire he could have the readers’ attention in way that a seriously written piece could not reach. Satire is present when Swift convinces the audience that he is an empathetic individual introducing the proposal with a sophisticated and compassionate manner beginning in the sentence, "I shall now therefore humbly propose my own thoughts, which I hope will not be liable to the least objection (1)," luring the reader into a sense of false trust as he begins the descriptions of the poor in Ireland. The reader is led to believe at first that this is a serious essay however it is not until deep into the proposal the reader can see how Swift uses satire to propose his thoughts found in the sentence, “a young healthy child well nursed, is, at a year old, a most delicious nourishing and wholesome food, whether stewed, roasted, baked, or boiled;” continuing on that, “no doubt that it will equally serve in a fricasie, or a ragoust (1).”

    While the poor people of Ireland continue to breed, the rich will have elaborate feasts and dinner parties with the meat of peasant’s children. The idea of the poor raising food for the rich as a solution to poverty is ludicrous as well as highly ironic. The rich will continue to enjoy the luxuries of the upper class such as wealth, power, and fine dining, while the peasants raise their meat for them. The upper class is undoubtedly the British that rule over Ireland, and by eating their oppressed they show their power and superiority. Swift is commenting that British control in Ireland is as treacherous as people eating their own babies as means to survive.

  • Critical Analysis Of Jonathan Swift's A Modest Proposal

    1083 Words  | 5 Pages

    Critical Analysis of Jonathan Swift’s “A Modest Proposal” In the work entitled “A Modest Proposal” by Jonathan Swift, the theme of social injustice is enhanced by the use of verbal irony to convey a charged message. The ambiguous title and introduction to Jonathan Swift’s masterpiece does little to prepare the reader for shocking content revealed later in the text. Swift’s work is powerful, poignant and persuasive because it strikes at the heart of the modern readers ethics, as it likely would have done for the author’s contemporary audiences. Jonathan Swift’s 1729 masterpiece is a satirical metaphor centered around the pervasive assertion, “the English are devouring the Irish.” Jonathan Swift gives a more comprehensive exordium concerning his work stating that is it “a modest proposal for preventing the children of poor people in Ireland, from being a burden on their parents and country, and for making them beneficial to the public (Swift 1199).
