枚举通常用于实现特定类或结构体的功能。类似的，它也可以在更加复杂的类型环境中方便的定义通用类和结构体。为实现这种功能，Swift 允许你定义内嵌类型，借此在支持类型的定义中嵌套枚举、类、或结构体。
若要在一种类型中嵌套另一种类型，在其支持类型的大括号内定义即可。可以根据需求多级嵌套数个类型。
定义
struct BlackjackCard {
// nested Suit enumeration
enum Suit: Character {
case Spades = "♠", Hearts = "♡", Diamonds = "♢", Clubs = "♣"
}
// nested Rank enumeration
enum Rank: Int {
case Two = 2, Three, Four, Five, Six, Seven, Eight, Nine, Ten
case Jack, Queen, King, Ace
struct Values {
let first: Int, second: Int?
}
var values: Values {
switch self {
case .Ace:
return Values(first: 1, second: 11)
case .Jack, .Queen, .King:
return Values(first: 10, second: nil)
default:
return Values(first: self.rawValue, second: nil)
}
}
}
// BlackjackCard properties and methods
let rank: Rank, suit: Suit
var description: String {
var output = "suit is \(suit.rawValue),"
output += " value is \(rank.values.first)"
if let second = rank.values.second {
output += " or \(second)"
}
return output
}
}
引用内嵌类型
// 要在定义外部使用内嵌类型，只需在其前缀加上内嵌了它的类的类型名即可：
let heartsSymbol = BlackjackCard.Suit.Hearts.rawValue
