Complete the Code

Which key command in Xcode will allow you to rename the variable you have selected everywhere it appears in the current scope?

// Which key command in Xcode will rename the selected variable
// within the current scope?

let lable = UILabel()
lable.text = "Name"
lable.textColor = .blue
rootView.addSubview(lable)

Be sure to tweet us with hashtag #CompleteTheCode if you know the answer!

Compiler Error

This week's Compiler Error has a theme: Swift Actors!
1 - Actors are a reference type distinct from classes that enable thread-safe access to the data within the actor by gating access behind async members.
2 - Actors can be used from Objective-C so long as the type is marked with @objc, and only non-isolated and asynchronous methods are called.
3 - Actors can be accessed from non-asynchronous code within the same module so long as only let properties or non isolated methods are called.
4 - Actors are implemented using special GCD queues and locks under the hood at compile time, minimizing bugs that arise from incorrect usage of isolated properties.
