Using actor keyword to handle data race in swift | Actors in Swift | Hindi tutorial

[@CodeCat15]

This video covers core details of why swift team decided to introduce actor when we already had lock-based sync approach like dispatch semaphore and dispatch barriers, and since we are taking about data races which is different from a race condition as a bonus I have shown a small setting in Xcode called thread sanitizer which will help us in identifying data races before our code hits the apple app store (production). Do share your feedback and questions via comments and do share the video with your iOS group on whatsApp, Facebook or LinkedIn. Note: English subtitles will be live by end of this week for the video I am working on them, Thank you for your patience.

The quality and tech. correctness of the video is great. and special thing is- it is in Hindi(Blessing for Hindi speaking Indians). I would recommend Ravi to come up with english audio as well to attract other people out side of India. Best wishes. One request: You should make series on background processing e.g URLSession BG download, BG process, Fetching etc.

[@CodeCat15]

Thank you for your kind words, as of now I will just be releasing videos in Hindi and I plan to keep it that way I do have English subtitles for few of my videos I add them when I get time it's a heavy task but its alright, thank you for suggesting the videos they are indeed some good topics

[@sohiniacharya3828]

Hi Ravi, I had a question. You said enclosing the call of async function from viewDidLoad in Task makes the thread wait for the async function to finish.Does this mean Task{} makes an async function sync ? Thanks for making awesome videos btw !

[@CodeCat15]

It's like a callback it knows which function called it and once the operation is done it sends the data of the operation back to the calling block.

Super learning session Sir, Please upload a video with covering a system design for full application. That will help people to understand all the basics when they have to work on a project from scratch.

[@shaktiprakash]

Nice 👍, could you please make a video on how to use a actor as Singleton class which has only one instance throughout app lifetime

[@CodeCat15]

I would not recommend that, actors can be used in a utility class but not inside a singleton. There should be no code inside a singleton that has to deal with read/write database operations because of the havoc it may create afterwards.

[@shaktiprakash]

I have a Singleton class which is doing read / write using private queue with barrier So planning to change by using actor

[@CodeCat15]

Is it doing reads in database or some global states? And is this done in a multi threaded environment? If not then you don’t need this singleton to be thread safe. Ideally I won’t recommend doing any db operations or file read write in singleton. You must create a separate utility or repository class based on your use cases

[@shaktiprakash]

Yes it's used for global state with multi threads environment

Hi Ravi, Thanks for wonderful video you have made on SwiftUI. Please can you share some videos on auto layout with xib and storyboard and more complex UI.

[@CodeCat15]

Thanks Narender, I would like to keep the channel to Swift and clean coding aspects of programming as of now I cannot wait to continue my SwiftUI playlist and add some more videos on it. As of now there are no plans to add auto layout or constraints related videos as lot of swift topics and features are pending. Maybe somewhere in future

[@AkashSingh-wk5xi]

Hello Ravi, You are explaining the topics in a simpler manner, but in attached codebase when i run it on XCODE first time, element "i-Phone 13" is not removing from the stocks array but on very second run it is working fine. Any idea on this?

[@akhtarabbas5760]

sir what if we use Struct instead of an actor in such case ?

[@CodeCat15]

The prime reason for actor is that actors can safely manage mutable state across concurrent tasks. Can structs do it? No Well structs can but then we have to write and handle large magnitude of cases whereas actors do that by default. Hope this answers your question, if not please feel free to ask more

[@lalitvinde1441]

bro you have created let barrier = DispatchQueue(label: "barrierQueue") which is serial queue so indeed it gonna executed task serially, using .barrier flag doesn't make sense on serial queue.

[@swatitompe7726]

Hi Ravi, I highly request you to make a video on Service oriented architecture

[@CodeCat15]

if you look at the MVVM and MVC videos you can say they follow service oriented architecture, by definition of SOA it means that you structure your application by decomposing it into multiple services (most commonly as HTTP services) that can be classified as different types like subsystems or tier All the videos in this channel promote decomposition and following SRP (single responsibility principle) which are the key in SOA, every decomposed layer is a self-contained unit of functionality , designed to complete a specific task.

[@prataprana2963]

Learned a lot..!! But I am just thinking to avoid race conditions we could use barriers , semaphores and many more things. So just to avoid isolation changes ki hum kabhi wait k bad signal na lgana bhool jaye aur lock k baad unlock  introduced actors. Which is i think more complex like we will have to use await keyword, then Need to call queue in Task struct. Also there are many drawback like we cant use inheritance. So my point is just ki ek isolation change ki vjhaa se is it worth to use actors? But i think we can use if we have heavy task or module which need high concurrency..!!

Hi Ravi, could you please start DSA playlist or DSA Crash also in swift language. It would help a lot because your technique to teach or explain is super. So if possible please start or add Data Structure Algos also in your channel.

[@CodeCat15]

I am a little hesitant to start DSA playlist as it’s a huge ocean to step into Maybe few basic videos can be released but basics is something that’s not asked in interviews it’s always the intermediate and advance topics. It’s not like I don’t want to but then when I think about DSA am always left with a blank paper in front of me as to how do I start, what topics do I cover and how must this playlist end My take is just covering the basics will not do justice to such a huge topic so am still planning on this coz what matters to me is quality so I cannot just open up my laptop and start recording. As the channel is growing am being more strict and disciplined with the content I release and a topic like DSA surely needs good amount of planning.

[@jiteshsharma9377]

​@@CodeCat15 Yes I totally agree with your words but I need to know could we start DSA in swift language or we have to brush up C++ or Java language to start in DSA. Because in swift we don't have much tutorials or internet stuff to learn or practice. So on this what's your take? Please suggest.

Why needed actor?

[@CodeCat15]

Coz in general semaphores can cause deadlocks whereas actors handle the situation more gracefully than semaphores
