**`exercism/Swift`** is one of many programming language tracks on [exercism(dot)org][exercism-website].
This repo holds all the instructions, tests, code, & support files for Swift _exercises_ currently under development or implemented & available for students.

🌟 &nbsp;&nbsp;Track tooling (_test-runner and Continuous Integration_) runs on Swift `5.8.1`. <br>
🌟 &nbsp;&nbsp;Most exercises are solvable with Swift `5.3.0` or higher.
🌟 &nbsp;&nbsp;Track tooling (_test-runner and Continuous Integration_) runs on Swift `6.0.3`. <br>
🌟 &nbsp;&nbsp;Most exercises are solvable with Swift `6.0.0` or higher.

As of 2025 does the track use the new [swift-testing][swift-testing] library for testing. This makes the so you have to use Swift 6.0.0 or higher to run the tests.
If you wish to still run the tests with the old XCTest framework, you can do so by pulling the `5.x` branch.
**Note:** The `5.x` branch is no longer maintained and will not receive any updates.

This track is made up of **Practice Exercises**. Practice exercises are open-ended, and can be used to practice concepts learned, try out new techniques, and play.
