I got this confusion in one of my project as well and found this post, very helpful. Tried the same in my playground and here is the summary. Hope this helps someone with stored properties and functions of type static, final,class, overriding class vars etc.
class Simple {
init() {print("init method called in base")}
class func one() {print("class - one()")}
class func two() {print("class - two()")}
static func staticOne() {print("staticOne()")}
static func staticTwo() {print("staticTwo()")}
final func yesFinal() {print("yesFinal()")}
static var myStaticVar = "static var in base"
//Class stored properties not yet supported in classes; did you mean 'static'?
class var myClassVar1 = "class var1"
//This works fine
class var myClassVar: String {
return "class var in base"
}
}
class SubSimple: Simple {
//Successful override
override class func one() {
print("subClass - one()")
}
//Successful override
override class func two () {
print("subClass - two()")
}
//Error: Class method overrides a 'final' class method
override static func staticOne() {
}
//error: Instance method overrides a 'final' instance method
override final func yesFinal() {
}
//Works fine
override class var myClassVar: String {
return "class var in subclass"
}
}
And here is the testing samples:
print(Simple.one())
print(Simple.two())
print(Simple.staticOne())
print(Simple.staticTwo())
print(Simple.yesFinal(Simple()))
print(SubSimple.one())
print(Simple.myStaticVar)
print(Simple.myClassVar)
print(SubSimple.myClassVar)
//Output
class - one()
class - two()
staticOne()
staticTwo()
init method called in base
(Function)
subClass - one()
static var in base
class var in base
class var in subclass
