The following two lines are equivalent:
return "Value of foo is \(foo), have a nice day!"
return "Value of foo is " + foo + "have a nice day!" // Assuming foo is
a String already
So in a way you can think of \() as being a means of escaping from the string
entirely. I find this more logical than the idea which other languages
encourage which is that the variable is somehow embedded inside the string,
which is why I actually really like having escape do this in Swift._______________________________________________
