Swift - Initialize class variables without constructor

Question

in C# it is possible to do something like:

myClass() { var1 = 5, var2 = 6 }

So I can initialize variables of that class without the need of having a constructor for these variables like:

myClass(var1: 5, var2: 6)

Is it possible to do something similar in Swift?

If all properties have an initial value (and you don't provide any initializer yourself) then the compiler creates a default parameterless initializer for you, see "Default Initializers" in the Swift book. — Martin R

... and this applies to both structs and classes. In addition, structs can have a default memberwise initializer. So what exactly are you looking for? — Martin R

@Martin R: I am sorry but I am not exactly sure what you are referring to. I want to set some (not all and varying) properties of the class to an individual value when I create it. — ehmunnehm

Yes, for structs. No for classes.
