Roland was pointing out that Swift uses the custom description for string
interpolation, which is the equivalent of using a “%@“ format string in Obj-C.
That d
I think William asked how to implement a custom description, not how to print
it.
The method is the same (for compatibility): description(). But since Swift is
stricter about typing, you have to implement the Printing (sp?) protocol, which
contains just that one method, to signal that your clas
