Examples

In the following program, we take an array with three elements, and get its string representation using Array.description property.

main.swift

var arr = ["apple", "banana", "cherry"]
print(arr.description)

Output

["apple", "banana", "cherry"]
Program ended with exit code: 0

In the following program, we take an array with Any type of elements, and get its string representation using Array.description property.

main.swift

var arr: [Any] = [2, 4, 6, "apple", "banana"]
print(arr.description)

Output

[2, 4, 6, "apple", "banana"]
Program ended with exit code: 0
