• The ➤ icon indicates an instruction step for you to follow.
• Quick tips about Xcode are marked with Xcode Tip.
• Quick tips about Swift are marked with Swift Tip.
• Deeper explanations of Swift language topics are marked with Swift Dive.
• Watch for Skills you’ll learn in this section to get a quick overview of specific new things you’ll learn.
