Swift Algorithms & Data Structures

This series provides an introduction to commonly used data structures and algorithms written in a new iOS development language called Swift. While details of many algorithms exists on Wikipedia, these implementations are often written as pseudocode, or are expressed in C or C++. With Swift now officially released, its general syntax should be familiar enough for most programmers to understand.
As a reader you should already be familiar with the basics of programming. Beyond common algorithms, this guide also provides an alternative source for learning the basics of Swift. This includes implementations of many Swift-specific features such as optionals and generics. Beyond Swift, audiences should be familiar with factory design patterns along with sets, arrays and dictionaries.
